Re: Very Strange Problem
In VFP, DBF may not open if the path contains blank space. As for example if the DBF is in c:\vfp 9\dbf directory, it may not open. It will open if the DBF is in c:\vfp9\dbf directory. Check the path. Make sure that path does not have blank space. I have encountered similar problem. And I have found this reason. I think this may help.

Re: Very Strange Problem
Thanks for your responses - I read the others too. The paths are stored in a table. I did all of your suggestions and more. After re-doing your suggestions I discovered something unusual about the database in the site path. I validated the database and it did not find several tables in the database, yet they are all there. I copied a good DBC() into the folder and it still didn't work. I am guessing that the files were set as not belonging to a database somehow!?! I removed the missing tables from the DBC() and re-added them. I haven't checked to see if this solved the problem because I have to leave for a while - but I am pretty sure that is it because the DBC() can now be validated. So how does a DBC() remain in tact and files mark themselves as not belonging to the database? I will report back.

In a table? If so make sure the record giving you the problem is clean i.e. retype the info into that field to make sure it's totally good. Way back in my SBT AccountMate/DOS days I had a client that would sometimes get corrupted records that pointed to the paths for the various modules.

Very Strange Problem
I have an application that has been working for many years at many sites. Getting right to the problem, I have a main program that calls another program to start the application. In mymain.prg there is a line DO mysubmain.prg. I put a messagebox in mymain.prg right before the call to mysubmain.prg and it comes up "about to start mysubmain". I put a messagebox in mysubmain.prg that says "entering mysubmain.prg". The first messagebox appears but the second one doesn't and I get an "invalid path or filename" that is not handled by my error handler. The really strange thing is that the application selects one of 10 sites (path to DBC()). It works fine on all of the sites except for 1 !!! It also behaves exactly the same way on my system that it does on the customer site !!! There is nothing between the main program and the sub program.
