Hello,

I try to make a backup from an MySQL database from within a VFP application.

I tried the following command so far:

! /N c:\Projects\MyApp\MySQL\Bin\MySQLDump.exe --user=root --port=3307 MyDatabase > c:\test2.sql

This line works in the DOS commandline. but when executing from VFP, MySQL returns an error

Couldn't find table ">"

So it mixes up the ">" character and assumes it is a table, although running from DOS it does it well.

Any ideas what I could do, or using another backup program?

Thanks in advance for any help.
