Hi Rene;
Make sure all files are closed (including queries & views).
Then:
COPY <source path>\*.* to <destination path>
Ed
BTW the program that is executing this command cannot be in the source path, or you will get a "File in use" error. Please let me know if the sugestion(s) I provide are helpful to you.

See if the answers to your questions are contained in this routine. It backups your database and then reindexes it and if you want keeps a copy of the database as a backup.
This is the structure if the sysindex .dbf it calls
If you need more help let me know David W. Grewe
