The settings look like mine. If you add a meta data name after the "e:\employee\", does it continue to prompt you for the name the next time? Once I do, I am no longer prompted for that particular DBC. You may just need to go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stonefield Systems Group Inc.\SDT\6.0\Meta Paths] and, after exporting this so you can restore if needed, clear out your Meta Data MRU paths and start over. I can not think of anything else on what the problem is.

Have you tried moving all the SDT meta files for that DBC to a temp folder then recreating the files?

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:
