>In addition to the causes posed by others who replied, I've found that Windows NT caching can be a problem. The scenario is usually: create a file, then try to open it immediately after. It can be a table, a DBC, a report, etc. On som systems, a "file does not exist" error occurs, on others, it's "file access denied". Stepping through the code works because of the time delay, while running it causes the error. The solution to these types of problems is a kludge: put in INKEY() to insert a pause into the code. Who'd a thunk it: the code runs *too* fast ;).

PMFJI, but do you know if there are any recommendations on NT file system settings such as Opportunistic File Locking etc. when used with VFP?
