>Just had a situation where I accessed a VFP3 table to get field names and tag info thru code using the aDBObject/afields etc. Did not change any thing. When I attempted to use the table in the VFP3 app received a message about DBC compiled using a previous version of foxpro. Does VFP5 'do' something when you access a table/database for info. Can you share databases across the two versions such as new functionalty in VFP5 with the core (seperate app) in VFP3??

vfp5 will make vfp3 databases vfp5 databases just by opening them in 5. odbc is the only way to share...
