Hilmar,

Thanks for the response.

Here's the extracted code that applies here:

*-- the "goGV" is an object created in main program

*-- open the NNACL and LDBilling database containers
OPEN DATABASE goGV.NNACL_Path+"NNACL"
OPEN DATABASE goGV.DataPath+"LDBilling"

*-------------------------

*-- in another program

lcNNACL = goGV.NNACL_Path + "NNACL!nnacl.dbf"
USE (lcNNACL) IN 0 ALIAS nnacl

lcACTexas = goGV.NNACL_Path + "NNACL!actexas.dbf"
USE (lcACTexas) IN 0 ALIAS actexas
SET ORDER TO actexas IN actexas

lcManlBill = goGV.DataPath + "LDBilling!manlbill.dbf"
USE (lcManlBill) IN 0 ALIAS manlbill
SET ORDER TO manlbill IN manlbill

*------------------------

The error I am getting is:

File 'c:\develop\ldbilling\nnacl.dbf' does not exist.

The file is contained in the 2nd application database
container. Both databases are included in the project.
I even tried:

"SET DATABASE TO nnacl" before the "USE" and still get the error.

Thanks for your help.
