I have had a few problems in the recent months regarding C0000005 errors. The most recent that I have tracked down, was due to repeated SET("index") statements. According to the MS Knowledge base(Q221737), this has been fixed in SP3. I've had SP3 installed since I first installed VFP on this machine(NT4 Workstation). Is there any way that SP3 could have been messed up on this machine, using older files? Or even just at my client's sites? Please LMK if you have any ideas. Thanks.
