>Hi Mark
>Thanks for the reply. I haven't turned on Database Events so that's not an issue. Explorer shows the file in t:\inv as it should. I can open the file from the command window by issuing a "use t:\inv\invmaster" and all is well. If I include the extra backslash (as in "use t:\\inv\invmaster") I get a "file not found". I'm really stumped.

I have VFP7 SP1 installed and I do not see this behaviour with a DBC on our Novell or NT servers. What is your server OS?
