Hello:
good evening.
I tried to open a DBF using DbUsearea() using a wrong DBE and I got te 
oError:genCode == 404. I looked for what it means and I found nothing.
Please, what that error means and what is the :gencode that is generated 
in this case?
Another question: when XPP_ERR_OPEN is generated when trying open an 
file already open in exclusive mode? In this case, what oErr:osCode 
contains?

Field errors (Presumably DBE specific):
404  *  ---                           Unknown/Illegal field type

Hi Jim:
good evening.
Many thanks.
I am trying to know if a DBF could not be opened by the used DBE.

Carlos,

GenCode 404 means: Unknown/Illegal field type

GenCode will be 404, and it means that the DBE you used (probably DBFDBE) 
can't handle the existing field type(s) (which probably require FOXDBE).

In that case, the OS Error is usually 32: Sharing violation

Which is more precisely: ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION -- "The process cannot 
access the file because it is being used by another process."

Hope that helps,
