Bob,

You mentioned that you were interested in what this file was used for so I thought I would reply. This is the main file that is used to track all of the info for the system. It stores things like the locations of the program files and all of the data files and indexes. It also tracks the next invoice number, po number, etc. It contains the links between the modules and the general ledger and saves all of settings for the setup. I guess you could say it is pretty important. <g>

>Thanks Bill. Yes, it was a typo on "sysflg". And thanks for your help. My client thanks you, too.

Note the different spelling of the CDX file. Also, unless someone made them a batch file called sysflg, they would be running "sysflag", not "sysflg"

>>>Is anyone familiar with SBT running on Foxpro for DOS v 2.6? I have a client who is running SBT and has come across a problem. The consultant who implemented SBT is long gone and I just got a call. They have instructions to run a program called 'SYSFLG.PRG' to fix issues when tables get locked. When running this program, when we encounter the 'USE sysdata' line, the program returns an error 'Not a database file'.
