'Got around the syntax checking by using the following:

sSourceFile = sSourcePath + "\MODE2.DAT"
sTableName = "mode2"
sParams = sSourceFile + ", " + sDataPath + ", " + sTableName
.LoadData sParams

Compiles and loads the object then fails with the following message:

"f:\temp\pave\foxprofi\ctablename.dbf does not exist"

The path indicated is correct; however, in this case it is also the default
path for my current FoxPro runtime. The "ctablename" shown is the literal name of the parameter I was trying to pass. Setting watches in VB all the variables on that side of the operation are initalizing correctly. It was because of this that I added the "PARAMETERS" command (and that was after I had tried "LPARAMETERS").

Have gone through the ON-LINE docs and have not found a direct corelation to this situation; but it can't be that rare a situation.

BTW This project is the first time I've used VFP for a commercial project. If I can get past the syntax learning curve I believe I'm going to like it. Speed has been great. I'm curious about how it would hold up as the server end of a mid-sized client server system. The price is certainly right.

Again, I appreciate the time. I'm going to battle with this another hour or so, then I'm goin to kick back and relax for an hour or two before declaring it to be "tomorrow".
