Erik,

Related question:
I've seen cases where the classlib is definitely closed, in fact VFP is closed. However, copying a backup copy of the classlib into the test dir does not work. It says the file is in use. Now the production directory is open by other people, but not the test dir. Could it be because the classlib in both the test and production directory inherit from a parent classlib elsewhere? In other words, the production library has the parent library open, so the test library cannot be updated since it is based on the parent library which is open? Confused yet? I am. I know that if we get everyone out of the test and production libraries, the backup class library will successfully copy.

FWIW, We've been trying to track down what prevents the test library from being updated for quite awhile.
