I have this new project I am working on - and for this project I decided to go with a DBC - since the Data files I need to import (from an outside source) have long field name descriptions in thier documentation. Figured it would make it easier to keep track of the fields & thier meaning if I did long names. Hate to admit - I haven't done a lot of work with DBC's (as they do NOT do it here a my current job) - and I did work with them at my previous VFP job circa '05-'07. But, I don't remember getting this kind of error.
I created the DBC, and several DBF files within it. But, I have a bunch of fields that have a Dash instead of an Underscore. When my program tried to save the data to one of those fields - I got an error. I figured that it just did NOT like the Dash in the field name. So - I attempted to just change the structure - and change the Dash into an Underscore - and that's when I got the Error. Is the Dash really not allowed in a field name (even the long field names within a DBF in a DBC)? At this point I am kinda stuck - and can't really proceed with this project until I can get the sucker fixed!
