>Perfect Cathy. Thanks! I had tried a form property but I didn't have the sequence correct to set it and check for it. Now it is working great. However, just curious, but is there a way to check for the existence of a table without knowing its actual filename?

Yes there is a way to do it generically. Put this code in the OpenTables method of the dataenvironment:

NODEFAULT

llOkay = .t.
FOR ln = 1 TO This.Objects.Count
  IF This.Objects[ln].Baseclass <> 'Cursor'
    LOOP
  ENDIF
  IF FILE(This.Objects[ln].Cursorsource)
    WAIT WINDOW This.Objects[ln].Cursorsource + ' exists'
  ELSE
    WAIT WINDOW This.Objects[ln].Cursorsource + ' does not exist'
    llOkay = .f.
    EXIT
  ENDIF
ENDFOR

IF llOkay
  DODEFAULT()
ELSE
  ThisForm.lAbort = .t.
ENDIF
