Hi Michael,
Try one or all of the following:
1. Check that there's a trailing BackSlash in the text file's data path (if what you're doing requires one)
2. Open the database explicitly with the full path (
OPEN DATABASE (addbs(lcDBCPath) + lcDBCName))
3. Make sure you're doing a SET PATH not a CD|SET DEFAULT
HTH
Cheers,
Andrew

If we were to introduce Visual FoxBase+, would we be able to work from the dotNet Prompt?
