Hi Jerry.

>Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. However, once I do a COPY TO for the DBC and the DBFs and fix the DBC, How do I "back link" the DBFs programmatically?

There's no need to if you don't rename the database container and keep the table copies in the same relative directory structure as the original database had. That's because VFP stores the paths to the tables in the DBC and the backlinks to the DBC in the tables as relative paths.
