Hi Gary.

>File acccess is denied Error 1705

"File access denied" means that you're trying to open a table exclusively that some other process has open, or you're trying to open it when some other process has it open exclusively. The likely cause is that you've got the table open exclusively in the VFP development session, so you can't open it in the runtime version. Be sure to SET EXCLUSIVE OFF (you can set it as a default in the Tools, Options dialog).
