I've managed to replicate this at last.  It only happens if you return from GETFILE() without selecting a file. The work-around is to test the value returned by GETFILE() and if nothing has been returned set the database. use fish.dbf cfile = getFile("d:\examples\", "Choose Files", false) if empty(cFile)     set database to dbasesamples endif use fish.dbf list use ?'cfile',cfile dBASE doesn't get upset if you set an already set database so try this use image.dbf cFile = getFile("c:\dbasewin", "Choose Files", false) set database to databasename use image.dbf Mervyn.
