Sorry Dave but this rant has nothing to do with SBT at all and EVERYTHING to do with binding paths within a dbc. Make a share off a server and put a folder there. Open VFP and make a DBC there and ADD a table from another drive. Make a view off that table. Now make another share of the same folder with the dbc. Open said dbc and try to access the table or the view. >From my hours of experience this past weekend all you get us ufda! -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
