>Hi all...
>I have a aplication that opens and use tables in a FoxPro database. Since all the clients can acces the database thru the aplication so the database remains open until the last user shut down the application. The question is how to make a backup (for example with azip.dll) of the database and its tables when it is in use?

Option 1: Run an automated process at midnight.
Option 2: a) Use XCOPY to copy the data files to another directory. Even if users have the file open, XCOPY or other copy commands still work. b) Compress that.
I combine both options, since some user may have left the program open. See my FAQ #10009, "Automated Backup".
