>>Dear everyone
>>How can you make a backup copies of your foxpro program folder during run time when you issue eg., copy file C:\fox\*.* to d:\mycopy\*.* without creating an error "file is in use". I laready tried the "close all" command but it did not work. Thanks

Ed,
Does it also allow to copy an entire folder - with all subfolders?
Actually, I am looking for
any relatively simple sample to compare API and WSH, for a programming course I am giving.
