We need to move a number of tables and DBCs around in order to accomodate multiple compainies in our accounting system.

I can remove table, move the files as needed and then add table but if I do that I loose all the detail info on the fields that is stored in the DBC. I can read and write the backlink info (using low level) in the DBF header but the info is also stored as read only in the DBC memo field. I could spend a few days writing a prg that gets the detail info, moves the table and then restores the detail info with dbsetprop() but that's a lot of work.

Given all the above. Does anyone know of any easy way to move the files around?

Thanks a million to anyone who can help on this one!
