No problem. I actually found out Stonefield takes care of the DCX everytime you use the SDT OpenData() method.

>>>All solutions given is fine if your are sitting in your clients office. What happens when you sell off the shelf Apps written in VFP and clients all over the country are running your app. Is there any ready made utility which can fix this problem. A product which I spent $500 on cannot fix this problem even though they say it can fix it. Has anybody written any utility ?

>>Yes. Stonefield will do this. If you have a problem, your recovery or update procedure can delete the DCX. Then when you use the SDT OpenData() method, it will recreate the DCX for you.
