>Hi Al, Thanks for your condolences. I've now got most of this fixed. However I'm still having problems in bringing up the line items in our VFP order entry program. I'm not using a parameterized view because I'm not using a database container. These are FP2x free tables. Someone once mentioned how to create a pv with legacy applications but I've forgotten how to do it and can't find it in my references. Any insight would be appreciated.
You're right, VFP views need to be in a .DBC, so you'd need to create one. However, the tables they are based on do not have to be in the container, they can be free tables. So, the tables themselves are not modified.
Regards. Al
