Thanks Bill. The one thing that bothers me is what may have corrupted the file in the first place. I did have a FoxPro cannot quit situation yesterday as I was trying to make a small app to reference countries and codes for use in another application. Well, learning by the seat of my pants, I set some properties in the form that actually shut me out of the form, even in development mode... <you are entitled to some laughs!> ;). So I had to do the hard reboot, and surely that's when it corruption set in.
I will now try Chet's very kind offer and replace the two files. Be well! Pablo Value persons above all, not things. Valora personas sobre todo, no cosas.
