>There must be something else hanging around! Because the installation routines for SDT instruct one to copy over the VFE DBCXMgr and I didn't know how to get the VFE dbcxmgr back, I reinstalled VFE so it *would* be OK. But I don't know

The library is really the same anyway. Doug just tells you to put his into the VFE directory since there is a change that his is newer. I think they are in sync with the current releases.

Well... I don't remember what problem you said you had, but I would trace the code and see if you can figure out what is happening.

One thing that seems to eliminate DBCX errors it to open the database in VFP and type...

vaidate database recover... Then run VFE, open your ap, Open the DBCX Explorer and validate the data base.

What was the error you are getting... and when do you get it?
