SYMPTOMS
When you try to execute a stored procedure of a database from within a form, the following error message appears:

File ' ' does not exist

The user can choose to Cancel, Suspend, Ignore, or get Help. This appears to only happen when the stored procedure is not in the currently selected database.



RESOLUTION
You may do either of the following to resolve this issue:


 * Issue an OPEN DATABASE command in the Load Event of the form.

-or-
 * Issue SET DATABASE TO in the Init Event of the form.



STATUS
This behavior is by design. Stored procedures may only be called when the database is the active, or selected, database.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create a database, and add a table and a Stored Procedure to it.
 * 2) Create a form, and add the table to the Data Environment.
 * 3) Drag the table onto the form to create a Grid.
 * 4) Add a command button to the form, and in the Click Event call the stored procedure. (Ensure that the DBC is closed prior to running the form.)
 * 5) When the error is returned, click Ignore and on the Standard Toolbar click the DBC. Note the procedure is called successfully.
