>Ok. One more question : do you think that create an only views DBC on the local machine is the best way to solve the problem caused by the error 1709 ?

If stamping out that error is your primary directive, yes, I don't know any other way (if oyu want to use the DataEnvironment that is- if you open your views manually, you can better trap for the error).

>Is the bug 1709 solved in VFP 6 ?

No.
