Gary,

I was just struggling with this myself this morning. The key is, you have to checkout metadbc & metadatenv from VSS if you want to do anything regarding changes to the data environment. Otherwise, you get the all too familiar, "cannot create cursor" error message.

VSS write protects these files if they are not checked out. Hope this helps.

>I am trying to setup a mutli-developer environment for VFP/Mere Mortals developement and have hit some snags. First, I moved the data directory to a shared drive on our server. Then I removed the registry entry for my project, re-ran 'do main' and reset the data location. Finally, I changed the entry in the metadbc.dbf to reflect the new location. I have my project under it's own directory, not under the MMortals directory.
