 Reply : 09/15/14  I get the message that ask for a table or "*.dbf" .
when I type in do :duflp: cretable7 with "*.dbf", it gives me this
error : file does not exist : duflp:cretable.prg.  I down loaded this from the Ken Mayer page.   duflpplus_ab.zip (4.1mb) It looks like it's in there yet still doesn't work.
sorry, thanks Charlie k
