I didn't install VFP on my work PC here. But, I just looked in the About - and I see it says 9.0 SP2.
So - at least I should be good in that regards. Problem got stranger. I put a SET STEP On in front of the line with the problem - so I can pause the program. And, if I then step thru that line with the PUTFILE - I get the problem. But, if I then go to the Command Window while the program is paused via Set Step - and I manually run that line of code with the PUTFILE - I don't have the problem. I then also did a different test. Within the Debugger, with the program paused - I right-clicked on that line and selected "Set Next Statement" - then I ran that line, but the problem did NOT happen. So - it ONLY Seems to happen when the program runs - or when I hit Step On and run the line the 1st time!

I noticed you use version 9.0, but did you install the service pack 2?
