>The 1709 error occurs in VFP 6.0, SP 3 on our current project. We are about to create a local DBC to get around it, but if VFP 7 fix's the error a holiday might be in order.

In VFP7, we have enhanced SET REPROCESS by adding the SYSTEM clause. This allows configuring the reprocess setting to apply to the VFP system datasession. The system datasession is the hidden (to the user) datasession where foxuser, DBC, PJX, SCX, FRX, etc., files are opened. This change was intended primarily as a workaround for the error you are getting, so you should be able to configure a setting of SET REPROCESS SYSTEM.

Try this:

SET REPROCESS TO 2 SECONDS SYSTEM

I hope a holiday is in order. <g>
