That part about it having to be a Fox2X table is definately strange! If you start with a new SYSINFO table that you build from scratch, does it still behave this way?

>I'm sorry if I've confused matters. I've developed a framework that uses views exclusively to access local tables (all free tables) or data stored in SQL server. It's become my new religion to never-ever open a table directly. Every one of my forms is free of any tables or views when it loads - all views are added from meta-data when the form loads - I even create my view DBC on the fly.

That forces the view to re-open it's source fIt works, but I don't like it. I'll try to post some repro code over the weekend - this really shouldn't be happening.
