>Thanks for your reply. I think it has something to do with insufficient privledges. The table is location in our "M:\" The user has full access to that location. But the project is in a location called "j:\mis\projects\projectname" (forms would be j:\...\forms) Users don't have access to "j:\" (but they do have access to the tables) We build the .exe into j:\mis\projects\projectname\name.exe. Then I copy that over to a different directory. (then I can work on it w/o disrupting users) We have just recently started using VFP 7, never had this problem in fp 2.6.

>If I give the user full access "J:\mis\projects\.." then it will work. I am guessing that when you type the command "use m:tablename" it creates a cursor somewhere. I wonder if its putting it into "j:\..." because I set the default directory to that while development. Is there a way I can change where the cursor is created? I don't want to change the default directory otherwise commands like "do forms/frmForm" won't work. And I don't want to give users access to program files, etc.

You don't happen to use views instead of tables? This would create cursors, too.

The location where files are created is usually the default (current) directory.

Some temporary files are created in places specified by SORTWORK, etc.
