>Hilmar, while tables (SCXs included) can be fixed by hacking the table header (see http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~NotATable~VFP) there is a problem with Windows 2000 where it "eats" the SCX file with the result of the file being filled with zeroes. If that's the case I hope you have a backup.

Thanks; and yes, I recovered from a backup. I hope I didn't lose too much. No, I don't have Windows 2000; I am still using Windows 98.

Suddenly I couldn't open the form - and I just wanted to know what was going on. But the backup seems to be the easiest way out in this case.

Hilmar.
