Hi Steve,

The strange thing is, what this code was working correctly for more than a year. Only today I found this strange thing. Does your other suggestion with copy to command properly copy all things (field rules/table rules)?

If I leave that keyword out, it will prompt me to overwrite an existing file. If I leave it in, I get an error on the second attempt at creating the same file name. However, the new table does not appear to be actually added to the DBC.
