Mike:
I would
not SET COMPATIBLE ON, this option forces VFP to believe that the tables are 100% compatibility with dBASE. Who knows what will happen.
I would not trust using VFP 6.0 to reindex VFP 3.0 tables. However, make a backup of all your 3.0 tables
before you reindex in 6.0, because 6.0 may ask you to mark the code page and make the tables unusable in 3.0
HTH,

>If I SET COMPATIBLE ON, can I pack and re-index VFP3 tables without screwing things up? Is there another way of administering VFP3 tables from VFP6??? It sure would be faster than waiting 'till I get home!
