>I recently moved a FPD26 program to a new machine and now I get the "Invalid file descriptor" message trying to create a dbf on the local drive...

The last time I had one of these errors was because of the FoxPro CD-ROM issue--compiling a prg/spr on a "D" or "E" hard drive and running the compiled code on a machine that has a CD-ROM on "D" or "E"

HTH,
