>I have a large application that runs fine when compiled into an .EXE. I can update tables with new/edited info. However, when I run a simple program to re-create my indexes I get the error message:
>"Cannot update the cursor" on each index command.

This message means the file is read-only. You mentioned that the DBC and tables are marked as excluded in the project. Are you absolutely sure of this? Also, is it possible the tables and/or DBC are marked as read-only by the operating system?
