I thought about that. However, the stored procedures are compiled with the command

COMPILE DATABASE

which is the next line of code I use, and the code DOES NOT generate errors there. So I am not so sure. Also, APPEND PROCEDURES is not listed as one of the commands that cannot run from the run time.

You write about VFP5SPO and below. Does this mean that in VFP7 this will be cahnged?

My main concern is if there is any way (short of hacking the run-time library!) around this? How do other people generate databases from code? Or they don't? Or they do but have no stored procedures in them?
