Hello Pete,

I'm trying to get a proper perspective on this problem. It seems that this is all centered around the inability to issue a USE ? command. Is that true? That would be enough to not use VFP7?

If it is really that big a deal, write a function (call it MUSE() *grin*) that displays a list of tables from the current database, and opens the one that the person selects. I would think it would take less than an hour (should take *much* less); it sounds that you've spent a lot more time than that on it already.

I understand your frustration...it sounds like your confidence in VFP7 has been shaken by this (especially with a Novell server). But, I really think enough people are using the product, and stability doesn't seem to be an issue. Perhaps not that many people type "USE ?".

I wish you the best in this,
