>Is there any way of having VFP do a CLEAR ALL automatically before checking in a file? It's frustrating to enter a description of the change made to a file and get a "cannot check in a file that is in use" error message.

Sylvain,

Perhaps you could build a little PRG for checking files in that makes use of VFP's project object hierarchy. If you check the docs, you'll notice that the file object has a checkin() method which you could call after issuing CLEAR ALL / RELEASE ALL.

Laterness,
