>I'm issuing an APPEND FROM myfile.dbf. This works fine and dandy until someone points to a file that's not a DBF. VFP issues the error "Not a table." Is there a way to check for this before I issues to APPEND? For that matter, what do apps look at to determine what kind of file it's dealing with? Is there something reliable in the header?
You can trap it in the Error Method.
