Well, I'm not absolutely sure...

Looking at the search sequence that VFP uses, second in the list is the current .DBC. So my guess id that you will not encounter a problem during execution, provided that the database in question is the current one.

So my suggestion is to either put up with the errors or, more positively, code a EXTERNAL command like "EXTERNAL PROCEDURE AddRec ".

good luck
