>Is it possible that you had a filter set that screened out the process that was doing the file access? I know that if you're using Filemon on the VFP machine and the data server, VFP does not show up as accessing the tables, since it's the redirector (or some similar process) that's doing the actual access.

I tried both with and without filters.
I've started reading about the Redirector and I hope to have more to write about that later today.

What I found interesting was that ZipMagic (don't have it any more, so I can check now) HAD 'intercepted' I/O from a Win2K system and unzipped files copied from its PC to the Win2K machine. I guess its hooks went there (Redirector) too. Smart prog.
