   When you say, "From 6 files",   
   do you mean Text files from another program,   
   and that you import them into paradox ?   
      
   When you say,   
   "into one receiving file"   
   do you mean you put all information into one pdox *table* ?   
      
   So, you have a pdox table,   
   and you can view the table,   
   and page up / page down through the table from beginning to end ?   
   How many records ?   
      
   When you say   
   "run a changeto query"   
   are you saying you are building a new query from scratch ?   
   or are you running an existing query ?   
      
   Can you create new query on any pdox table   
   and check all fields and save that query ?   
      
   Can you then create a new query on this particular recd.db table   
   and check all fields and save that query ?   
      
   In your opinion, are you getting invalid filename error when you   
   try to RUN the query, or when you try to SAVE the query.   
      
   Sorry to answer your questions with questions.   
   It is probably something very simple.   
      
   Cheers
