hmmm... I tried it with one of my projects and it does work as you say, the only thing I could think of is a conflicting, out of date copy of an index, table, or the database itself.

BTW, why do you need to specify the whole path to the database if it's in your search path already?


>SET Default to g:\db\timecard
>OPEN database g:\db\timecard\data\timesrch.dbc shared
