Why don't you put all user files in a separate directory so that all they need to do is drag the directory in Windows explorer.

>hey, it wasn't my idea! :) the client made this request. there are multiple users and each user has their own records and works in multiple locations - two offices and some homes. there is no WAN that can be used and they want the users to be able to easily move their records around. so rather than copying 30 files to a zip drive, they would prefer they simply copied one "mdb like" file back and forth.

>>>hi again,
>>>
>>>i have a little app that references about ten table and index files. is there any way on god's green earth that i can somehow combine all these files into one file - sorta like an Access .MDB file - and then distribute it?? i first thought of a simple solution such as having them in a zip file and unzipping them in the beginning and then zipping them up at the end. however this solution is way too slow. any suggestions or am i SOL?

>>Not in VFP. You could do this if you switched to MSDE (SQL Server tables are stored in two files, .DAT and .LOG) or you could actually use an Access MDB and connect via remote views.
