Hi Nadya

Thanks for responding.

>Do not use "USE" command directly. It should be wrapped into a procedure with ERROR trapping code. I posted here my version OpenTble several times, but it could be improved now using VFP8 syntax.

I guess it is time to post it again <g>. Sorry, but I seem to have missed those posts, or better still why not make a download of it.

All in all the original response was nice, in which to close all the open forms and then, if successful, to proceed with the utility. But still what will happen when the app is working over a network?
