>I'm using the DOS shell RUN COPY *.* bigfile.DAT to concatenate a bunch of little files into one big one then append the bigfile.dat into a table. Problem is that VFP6 always thinks the bigfile.dat is in use by another and won't let me use it after I append files into it. Anyone got a hint as to how to avoid this?
