Hi Mike,
>>I need to copy DBFs / CDXs / FPTs from one directory to another (for backup purposes). The VFP command COPY FILE fails if the table is open.

You don't mean this seriously don't you ?? Have you read the entire thread ? Your proposal is not workable in many cases (Other network users, data sessions, other open forms with tables, etc). In this thread there is a workable solution discussed.
Walter,
