Hi Doug,

I check the AERRORINFO, the 2nd element in the array says "C:\VFPFILES\VFPAPPS\SC\DATA\SCPORDER.DBF cannot be opened exclusively."

I run the repair utility with no parameters so that the list of available tables is available to choose from. Does this possibly have something to do with it? I run the Reindex utility the exact same way but I don't have a problem with the reindex utility.

One other thing I noticed. I use VMP 4.0 which opens all the tables on app startup, so I closed the table I was going to run the repair on prior to running the repair utility. I still got the error...and then I checked to see if the table was open and it was.

Thanks,
Paul Acton
