Hi,

I can't give you a general solution, but one possibility would be to use PacketWriting software for what you want to do.

There are so called Packet Writing Drivers from most vendors of CDROM burning software. One example is InCD (www.nero.com). If such a driver is installed, you can format CDRWs in the needed format and then use CDRWs just like floppy- or harddisks. You can simply copy and delete files on/from the CDRW.

HTH,
Armin

>In my software I put a backup option, where users can choose several options like type of the compressor program (pkzip, winzip, arj, imp...), destination of backup (floppy disks, Iomega ZIP disks, hard drive etc.) and now it seems to be the time I must support also backup to CD-RW units directly from my VFP application.
