Hi Charles,

In addition to closing table you have to close database. E.g.:
set database to dbcName
close database

>Now my problem is that if no error occurs (meaning my app is the only app that can use the database tables since i can use dbfTable exclusively) and I try to copy the database file to another directory, an error occurs which reads "File is in use". How come? Didn't I already close the said table by issuing a "Use In" command? What could be a "better" way to close a specific table?
