>I know what SET CPDIALOG and GETCP() do. What I am trying to do is simulate the scenario that will cause the code page dialog to popup without doing a GETCP(). My environment has SAFETY ON and CPDIALOG ON. Having said that, I now want to create a table that does NOT have a codepage so that VFP's GETCP() will automatically fire. I even tried using the MS supplied app called cpzero.prg on a foxplus type table, but no matter what I do, VFP opens the table properly without asking for the codepage. I know this should be "good", but the problem is that at the client site, the VFP app randomly pops up the GETCP() dialog which is "not good" because the app runs automatically during the night when no one is around to answer the code page dialog question.

Isaac,

Rob is right. The shared mode is the only thing that could be different between you and your users. Now, if you want to get rid of the problem once for all, tag all these 2.6 tables with an appropriate codepage. You could even write a small utility that would do that quietly...
