>>>After I've worked with tables in VFP, my 2.6 apps can't open them: "Not a table/DBF." I have to do a "copy to [etc] type Fx2x" to restore the tables so my 2.6 users can access them. What am I missing? How does one use the same same tables in FP 2.6 and VFP?

Good point! Since VFP is based on the DBC you may have to be extra careful. Since I use only DBC stuff I guess I am of very little help -- sorry bout that...
