> SudhirYou can use the same table, but assuming this new app is in a different directory, things could get a bit tricky. I would configure the location of this table in both apps so that it doesn't always have to stay in the same place. The problem comes when you use a form's DE to open tables. In cases like this, I only use a form's DE for making it easier to design the forms, e.g. having the fields and aliases available from property selections. But I'll set the AutoOpenTables to .F. and then open the tables myself in the form's Load.
