Fred,

It does work when included in the same app or exe. However, my core problem is how to access 284MB of read-only tables WITHOUT including them in the main exe. Distributing a 300MB exe is a bit overwhelming and difficult to update. Isolating the data in a dedicated app that opened all the tables WAS a viable solution in 2.6. It doesn't work in 6.0.

My fear is that any other conceivable solution might be subject to the same dilemma: VFP6.0 SELECT SQL statements needing an actual file for all tables. If I encrypt the tables, would the SELECT SQL statements fail as well?


>Have you tried including the table in the second .APP file, too? Since it's read/only you should have exactly the same data.
