>>>Hello! We are trying to compile our VFP 5.0 application this morning but keep getting an error message that says "Not a table". That is all the information the error message gives and we are not sure what it causing it. We are currently using Visual SourceSafe. Also, the last time we successfully compiled was Friday. Has anyone seen this error message before?

I am not sure because I never build. But, when is errors, maybe you can press Suspend ? or, maybe you can put an ON ERROR SUSPEND preceeding the build ?
I think others may be able to help you better here ...

You also could try to open each table involved yourself (use), and see whether it errors. Think of all types of tables, like VCX, SCX, PJX, (possibly DBC) and of course your normal tables (when included).

Anyway, good luck !
