Subject Re: Field Names in a Table From Ricardo Fernandez <106016.337@compuserve.com> Date Sun, 18 Feb 2018 18:32:19 -0500 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started The same thing happens using dbase8 with windows10. The truth is that the wizard is a comfortable and visual way to design a table, and it would be appreciated if that failure was corrected. If it can not be corrected, I think it would be better to remove it from the IDE. It hurts enough to see that you are wasting your time ... steve dupuie Wrote: > Ken Mayer Wrote: > > > On 6/21/2017 5:44 AM, steve dupuie wrote: > > > I have dBase 2.7 and Windows 10.  In prior versions of Windows I had no problem creating tables in dBase.  Now, I can't create a table because I always get the "Field name error" message no matter what field name I use.  I also used an existing table in the dBase Samples directory, the table opens, but won't allow me to change or modify the field names.  Does anyone know if this is a dBase vs Windows version issue? > > > > > > > This has come up before, I think it's a combination of older versions of > > dBASE and Windows 10.
