>does anybody know how to prevent users from openning VFP tables.

I know this doesn't help you now, but in VFP 7, database events will allow you to do this because an event fires when a table is opened and you can prevent the table from being opened by returning .F. from the event code. I'll be showing this at my presentation at DevCon later this month and GLGDW in Nov.
