>>I have tried something like this, but using the SYS(2005) instead. It worked great in the IDE, but insisted on creating a new FoxUser in the current folder when ran as a EXE. Then, the return value of SYS(2005) would be returned as a empty string. Is there any thing different the SYS() method then the SET() method of getting the table name?

Thanks for the help. I found my problem. The FoxUser file was not openning properly, do to the fact I was writing a record to it, and not updating the CHVAL field correctly. Once I add the code to preform a CHKSUM ( sys(2007) ) agaist the DATA field, the error went away.

Thanks for the pointers, it help me see the errors of my ways.
