Thanks for answering back. I am using 6.0c. I went into sdt properties and I had an "\". I removed that and my properties now say:

..\SOURCE
..\METADATA

Now I get "Add Meta Data to MRU List" with default of "e:\employee\"

My search path includes following:

e:\stonefield6\sdt;e:\stonefield6\sdt\source;e:\stonefield6\sfcommon;e:\stonefield6\sfquery;e:\stonefield6\sfreports;e:\employee

I know these setting should work because they are working on other programs. I did do one thing though, this program was using the stonefield 5.1j and it was written in vfp6. I compiled this program in vfp7 with all references removed from stonefield 5.1j and now it has following in cls tab of project manager:

sdt ==> e:\stonefield6\sdt\source\sdt.vcx
dbcxmgr ==> e:\stonefield6\sdt\source\dbcxmgr.vcx

I have tried both opening and closing database before using sdt explorer. As far as sdt meta files being in same folder, I did see sdtmeta.* and dbcxreg.* files in e:\employee. I have done same conversions on other programs and they seemed to work ok. Do my settings look correct to you?

Thanks
