right, thanks mike for clearing that up. I forgot about the underscore.

I think I will just clean up the code with replacing the append blank command's with INSERT command's. I never liked that command in the first place and could never understand why they wrote it like that. Well, thanks for helping me get to the bottom of this everyone.

I've actually set up an event handler that will let the user execute a "Retry" command on there own so that if they get this message, they can hit Retry until it goes through. But I want this to only be temporary until I figure this out. Erik

Wow, I didn't realize the append command would lock the file's header. Is there a way to do it so that append does not lock the header file? If not, maybe I will have to look into using the INSERT command, but that will be a pain to rewrite. Oh well.

Plus it wouldn't make sense that people are in the same records because all the users are limited to accessing only the records they are responsible for and should not be in the records they are not responsible for. I hope this is making sense. If not let me know and I will try to explain...

I think I found the answer in another thread. I guess I should look harder next time. Thanks anyways. Erik

Hello all, I am trying to extract some jpg files from a foxpro table with a general field. Each record has an employee's number along with their picture. I would like to extract these photos from the table and name them each with their corresponding emp. number. For instance the following is...

We are trying to print a picture that is held in a general field in a table. The photo is in color but it is printing in black and white. We know that the printer is fine because we can print in color without using the foxpro program. But when we try to print the same picture from the general...
