I'm having the opposite problem, when I try to do it from the command window - simply because the view is trying to use a dbf which is in another dbc which is not in the path. In the executable there's an utility which sets the path, and there it works.

So my recommendation would be to make sure the dbc (or the dbf) is visible to your exe - somehow it is, while in VFP, but not in the exe.

Sounds like something in stored procedures that doesn't really get right, or a pathing issue again. Don't really know.
