I just tested this under WinNT 4.0 with SP5 installed and Win98se, and it worked fine when working from any folder on a local disk volume:
CREATE TABLE DUMMY (dummy c(5))
USE
FLUSH
DELETE FILE DUMMY.DBF RECYCLE
DUMMY.DBF appears in the Recycle Bin, and can be restored.
Are you accessing a file on a network directory? If so, you don't have access to the remote system's Recycle Bin. In fact, there may not be a close equivalent of the Recycle Bin available depending on the NOS.
What version of VFP are you running? The RECYCLE keyword is a relatively recent addition to VFP; if you're using VFP3 or VFP5. it was not supported then.
If you're running VFP6, what, if any, VS Service Packs were installed?
What version of NT 4.0 are you running, with which NT Service Pack?
