>> Can anyone suggest how this could end up in error 8, No table is open in the current work area<<
You did not say which line of code is causing the error so we are all guessing. What error handling are you using, ON ERROR, or Error method? I have recently noticed VFP occasionally does not throw an error when opening a table, and the table is not opened. This is happening randomly so I cannot produce reproducible steps. You might consider wrapping the code in a TRY...CATCH to see of it will capture an error, or double check to see if the table is opened after the USE statement, and if not, USE it again.
