Dave,

The DBC is opened exclusively. This is a weird one. I can get to the Referential Integrity button on my
home PC but not on my work PC.

Even when I "CREATE DATABASE test" and create 2 new tables in the DBC. I can place a PRIMARY
key on one of the tables and relate it to the child table but I can't click on the Referential Integrity button
because it is always disabled.

But these exact things work fine on my home PC. Same VFP5 version.

I can reinstall VFP5, but what would cause this?

Thanks,

Jerry Tovar
