Hi Kevin,

Glad you got it worked out. Have to wonder why GENDBC needed exclusive use. After all, it doesn't modify anything in the DBC.

>>You can copy the DBC and DBF's even if they are in use (hope they're not too big). The DBC -> DBF relationship is a relative path. Then you can use GENDBC or better yet GENDBCX available at the Codebook forum. http://leafe.com/dls/vfp
