The VFP command COPY FILE fails if the table is open. I am currently shelling to DOS and using the COPY command (in DOS) which works even when the table is open, but I would rather not shell out to DOS. Are there any alternatives? I also don't want to resort to ActiveX controls. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I had the same problem and solved it by creating at new table from the structure of the one I wanted to backup. Then appended from the actual table to the backup table.... The backup is done automatically every night.....
