>We are running some foxpro programs automatically in the weekend w/o supervision. We are ingoring and logging all errors. Usually there are no errors, but last week we encountered a couple of 1705 errors. So we suspect that these errors happened at a moment that there happened a backup of the directories including the dbf files.

If that is what is happening, you could trap for error 1705 in an error handler (using ON ERROR) and if the error number is 1705 you could wait a few seconds or minutes and retry.
