Hi Ed,
>The most likely cause is that you've left a value in your Watch Window that expects to act on a table when you last exited from the debugger - go into your FoxUser file and delete all the relevant records - the WATCHEXPR record contains the current values set in the Watch Window.
Any idea what value would do that? When I tried to duplicate the problem, I tried putting alias.field, RECCOUNT(), DBF(), and none of them caused a file prompt -- they just showed blank or "cannot be evaluated".
