>Yes, backup can cause such error. Make sure that backup and your programs don't run at the same time.

:), I don't have the backup process in my hand, it is done for the whole organization and I don't think this part can be changed. I have to trap this specific error in my programs and keep retrying. Thanks.

>>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.
