Gadi,

I've just tried:
lTable='BldMstr'
use (lTable) alias (lTable) again shared in 0

it works fine.

Close VFP. Open it again. cd to directory with any table.
lTable='YourTable' && Any name of existing table
use (lTable) alias (lTable) again shared in 0

If it would not work, I don't have other suggestions. Is it a problem in local version of VFP? I don't believe it. You don't use Hebrew in Table names, I hope :)
