Not really helping you with the problem Ajoy, but just a general observation.
That is, "one point of entry and one point of exit"....(I hate RETURNs half way up through the code). You would be better of doing :- llFailed = .F. && Should be "ll" - as var is logical! Try Open Database mydata Exclusive Set Database To mydata Pack Database Catch llFailed = .T. Messagebox("Other users logged in") Endtry Return Not llFailed Robbo.

Else Pack Database Endif Can anyone just help me. Something similar in Vfp6 was not a problem. A direct rebuild with Vfp8/9 did not work well. I wonder why.
