There it looks better now. :> Well with the accounting system in VFP free tables and the need for a friging huge view to get the proper shipping address instead of the holding company billing address. I did what needed to be done seven or so years ago. To retrofit today when there is new hardware in the way and have that just hose up everything! I mean I found a workstation for the graphics person who has not worked there in 6 years. Because of their absence that workstation was still the same. I still think that all you people tossing out UNC are still missing the point. Internally the pointer to the data NEVER CHANGED. Let me repeat that without shouting. F:\sbtpro\custom was the same. Why would the dbc barf if it was opened only via ODBC and the pointer in that said G: vs E:. Same blasted container, just referenced via a machine pointer, not even by fox code. That is the frustration. The DBC thinks its on E: fine it works. The dbc thinks its on G: "sorry charlie" you are screwed! -- 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.
