>Since you are using PHDBase extensively you might help me with this Phdbase bug related to the long names. I have an application in VFP3.0 with free tables and 8.3 names for them. I thought that this bug related to the names with spaces only and started to create longer names without spaces in VFP5.0 It seems to create some instability for =phd("Select ... from ~tablename~ where ... into cursor ~cursorname~" ) where tablename,cursorname exceed 8 characters. Sometimes it works , sometimes gives a weird error or shuts down Foxpro. To your experience shall we avoid of using the names not compliant with DOS at all or my problem is caused by different reasons.

Yes, PHDBase has problems with long names. At least, with long directory names. I haven't tested it with long file names however. It might be related.
