Kurt,
In differing opinions between Juergen and I occur again on this forum, here's the hard and fast rule.
What he said.
I say this with all due respect - Woody has probably forgotten more about VFP than I'll ever know. :)

You're wrong (sorry). That's not a problem of the Logon form, but from the table the form is trying to open. The error message tells it clearly: "Error loading file" in SCX record 6.
USE Login.SCX GO 6 BROWS
Or look at the dataenvironment of that SCX in your form editor.
That table has the backlink error. The table is definitely part of a database (DBC). But since you don't have the backlinked DBC in your project (and therefor not in the expected folder), that dbf cannot get opened.
Solution: Get the missing DBC files, add it to the project. Then OPEN DATABASE <YourData.dbc> VALI DATA RECO

Yeah - I spent HOURS today with the IT guy on my team who does networking & IT support - he's NOT one of the Developers - but, he HAS a Dev background. And, we were struggling to try SO Many things. Even trying some installs/updates from the VFP CD ROM they have. Still to no avail...
In my original posting - Backlink claims to be tied to a Screen and Not a DBF - which is SO WEIRD!
I agree - maybe it's Misleading - and truth is NOT what it points to! And, yeah - computers - always so much fun! Even what Richard Q. suggested - I showed that Specifically to my IT guy - as that is His Territory. He was like - Nope - that's not it.
Gotta say - starting a new job - and at the end of the 1st full week - stumbling upon such a STRANGE Issue - it's not only Perplexing - Butt Hella Frustrating!
I will say - and this is VERY Interesting and IRONIC! In searching the ProFox Archives - I found the 1st person who complained of a Backlink issue! Ironically - it's my manager at this job - who posted the job - Wayne. Although, in His case (back in like 2000) - it was indeed tied to Data and DBF files...
Have a GREAT Weekend Folks!!!
