thread290-1056644
thread290-579264
Is the error number 530 or 531? (Yes, that would be helpful!)
Error 530 is when the mismatch is found with databases.
Error 531 is when the mismatch is found with indexes.
You could add SET LDCHECK OFF to the CONFIG.DB system file if you never use strange language sets.
Most likely you are using the default setting of SET LDCHECK ON which is fine. Even if you have the same DOS code pages set on both computers, you need to have LangTable and ASCIIsort set identically on both machines, see chapter 2 of the booklet Getting Started. Your problem may be that these are not identical on both computers when those tables were created.
Note: The manual says a table is permanently marked for a certain code page. You'll have to create new tables and append from the old ones to change code pages. But beware of character differences since they are not automatically converted when appended. Test and check afterwards to be sure!
