Tony,

I have three versions (5,6,7) of VFP installed on the very same PC. All of them I call the very same way (using configuration setting). And guess what? VFP5 and VFP7 give me table_name.def as you wish, but VFP6 - table_name.def.dbf!
So, I would follow exactly as it is documented, CREATE FILENAME.. meaning without extension, I believe.

The strange thing is that this only hapens sometimes, and so far only on one machine. So does anyone have a clue here, or should I just insert a file() test and rename the files?
