I have copied over the exact same code that I had in one environment to another and it is working in the first but not in the second. It is having an issue with the Filedef.. I checked the master file and everything is fine with the master file. Is it possible that I don't have permission to something? Is this a server issue or something that occurs in the new version of app studio (8104) ?

Is the FILEDEF throwing an error , or just not finding the file?
before the FILEDEF , issue a WHENCE command to make sure your wanted file is on your app path.
WHENCE yourfilename MASTER
eg
WHENCE CAR MASTER

Yes, I did a whence and checked the file at the location it gave me.. everything is find. My filedef is just not finding the file. It acts like it is running but doesn't.

How about showing us your FILEDEF statement?

Two suggestions: first, please include a copy of the error message you are receiving; second, try issuing the FILEDEF against a different file that you know exists. WHENCE may also be used with FOCTEMP filetypes, so create a tesit.ftm file for that test as well.
