Virusim,

collapse the Data tree item in the project
close the project
close data all
open the project

you should now see that the database dropdown is now disabled.

But once you expand the database VFP will open the database, and if you close the project when it is like this, it will reopen the database when you open the project. Then you'll have to run the steps above again.

>So, it is the way VFP work.
>Any way to still open the project and force VFP
>to close the DBC file, so that my project can
>run without any problem ?
