Hi David "Free tables" with no fields? What is that supposed to mean? /gustav >>> newsgrps at dalyn.co.nz 24-02-2005 00:25:40 >>> Tried that. The problem is that all the linked tables are Foxpro free tables. Carl's code and Candace Tripp's code both check to see if there is a field in the table definition. If so then it assumes that the link is valid. However, it seems that the table can be viewed in design mode ok but when the table is actually opened it causes the error. Also, all I want at this stage is to be able to take a variable with the folder name in it, and then loop through the linked tables to change the old folder to the new one.
