For some reason, syntax I've used for years to open tables with will not open the table I tell it to:
select vendexp_fi from data/sys_def into array temp

I've tried it with the full path(which I hate doing because I can't control where the client puts the app), with data1!sys_def.dbf, and every other thing I can think of, but it just plain refuses to open the table without promting the user to select it. The syntax of the sample I've used hundreds of times to open tables in code with nary a problem, till this app.
