    Once you get beyond the "Divide by Zero" error, you also may have to edit the Config.nt file in the System32 of the main Windows folder on the XP PC. The default may be FILES=40 or FILES=20 in there. Just increase the number accordingly to allow lots of tables, index files, etc. to be opened at one time in a FoxPro session. I use FILES=99, but others use numbers in the hundreds.
