Thanks for the suggestions,although my error was a stupid one from my side
I had DBSetProp(&lcview...) instead of DBSetProp(lcview)
It's working as I write... =)

>When do you get the error? on the Open database, DbSetProp() or the Close database?
>Assuming the DbSetProp(), does the view contain a free table? Or another view? If so, you should open them before issuing the DbSetProp()
>Also, I usually cd to the dbc directory before issuing the DbSetProp(). Not required, but just my practice.
