>>I have an error message that says: "LOCATE DATABASE" Error instantiating cursor object. Cannot find c:\program files\devstudio\vfp\m.dbf. This happens when I open a form. I ignore the error and it comes back. I checked my data environment in the form and it seems okay. I also checked all the fields on the form and it looks okay. I had this problem before but wasn't sure what I did to get rid of it. Also, I'm not using a database container. I'm using all free tables. What does this error message mean!!! I looked in several books but cannot find an answer...
>>Any help would be greatly appreciated...
>>Thanks, Mike.

>The error means that one of the cursors in the data environment is trying to open a table named m and m is a reserved alias name in VBFP that refers to memory variable. If you have a table named m you should rename it. You should also avoid single character table names and use at least three chars in a table name.

Hi Jim

You are referring to VBFP. :)

Is it at typing error or a coming version of a combined VB and VFP product? :))

NB! Hope you enjoyed your trip Europe.
