Hi!

Use MyTable

Above command supposed to open the DBF table in EXE. However, if you have any module in EXE with the same name, I do not know if it will behave correctly. Just try to make a very simple project with very simple structure and check this issue.

As about project re-creating, it is the best thing to maintain project at the VSS. In such case you need nothing bu join to VFP project in VSS again to re-create the project file. Note this for future, because project corruption occurs quite often.

HTH.

>Thanks for your response! I (try to) open the compiled in table with the standard USE syntax and there are no other modules with the same name. The strange thing is that this worked just fine before. I have a feeling that somehow the project itself got messed up. In the end I will probably try to simply reconstruct the entire project from scratch . I'm just hoping that someone else has had the same problem and discovered a hack to fix it.

All of a sudden after sharing my development with another VFP developer, the app seems not to recognize the compiled in table. I have removed and replaced the table, rebuilt the project, packed the project all to no avail. The only way the app "sees" the table is if it is now physically on the disk in the search path.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
