That's right. I did'nt know. Will investigate this more.
Not that I use VFP tables but I prefer keeping my screens and reports external for faster loading, less memory usage (we use Terminal Services and every extra bit of memory saved helps), and ease of updating since the EXE is locked by most users.
This should be in the FAQ.
