{| = PRB: APPEND FROM Causes &quot;File  Does Not Exist&quot; Error =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q97646

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a
 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, and 2.5a

SUMMARY
Issuing the command APPEND FROM causes the error message &quot;FILE DOES NOT EXIST&quot; to appear.

This error message occurs because the APPEND FROM command requires a database name. The cursor file is the alias for a database. Therefore, referring to the database name instead of the alias will resolve the error, as shown in this example:

APPEND FROM DBF('cursor file')

MORE INFORMATION
The Append From option on the Database menu is disabled when a cursor file is in the current work area.
