Hi Mel:

Sure, you can USE the table in the AfterOpen but why not just use a standard CM cursor object just like any other table? All you have to do is set it up just like a table in a DBC where cType == "Table", cDatabase == '' (None in the property window) and cSource is the free table name. If the free table can be found along your path, just the name of the table will do (you don't even need to specify ".dbf"). Other than that you can specify a path and filename in cSource but obviously, this can be a problem if the file may be in a variable location "on-site".
