Hi,
I know this may sound basic, but......

In the VFP development environment with the project loaded can you use the table
from the command window and open it... this is first thing to try.

I judge this is a muti-user application... and if you copy the database container and tables
down to your local harddrive can you open the table there, and prove it only fails on the
network ?

If you "DO FORM MYform" at the command window can you load the form and run it
without the problem ?

Actually if you have the table as shared, multi-access should be available.

Question, why are you opening the table in the Load event....? Why not add it to your
forms data environment with buffering=5 and let the form look after the mechanics ??

Let me know !
