Are you sure that you have not included the table in the exe, because if you have the table is read only? Ooops, sorry, I gave the answer to the wrong guy!

>>Hi Guys,

>>I have a VFP6 App which needs to use macro substitution to update fields in a table. The app works great running from the command line (i.e. running a PRG that runs a form). However, when I create and run an EXE, VFP just skips right over the REPLACE statement! Even stranger, I use a similar technique in another part of the same app with no problems. The code is like:
>>
>>TVar="T" + ALLTRIM(STR(kSet))
>>REPLACE &TVar WITH "AO" + cOrder + cLine
>>
>>in this case, I have verified that kSet='S51' which is the name of the field I want to update. I have verified that the statements are executing, but NOTHING shows up in the file. I have tried this on several machines with the same result.

>>Any ideas?
