Right... but even if lCheckDefaultDataBase is .t. if lUseMetaDBCMgr is false this class should not be used.


>If MetaDBC exists and contains the original Path to where the original database was when created. It is not found and you receive the message "Database not found". Looking at the code, there is a logical property named lCheckDefaultDatabase which is tested in order to get the path to the original database out of MetaDBC. Unfortunately the Devguide refers to this property only for the pourpuse of using multiple Databases at "Miscellaneous Data Environment Settings" and the BizObj Builder is supposed to be used with your own application dataenvironments, not with those that are created at start up like AbstractFactoryEnvironment and EventLogEnvironment.

The sort term fix my be to set lCheckDefaultDatabase to false for these classes that use Free tables like Error, Classes, etc.
