I thnik enclosing the path in quotes works
USE "C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT VISUAL FOXPRO 7\samples\data\customer"
or to be on the extremely safe side, make it a name expression using parens:
USE ("C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT VISUAL FOXPRO 7\samples\data\customer")
Cheers,

Andrew

If we were to introduce Visual FoxBase+, would we be able to work from the dotNet Prompt?
