>>For some reason, I've got someone who wants an on-line backup process from the menu rather than letting the net admin do it. Anyway, the process seems to work fine except that I cannot seem to get the DBC to copy. In a wait statement, it shows being copied but at the end of the process, I get a "File in use" error message and find that the DBC never did copy. I've made sure that the database is closed and all the tables are closed but I continue to get "File in use". I'm not sure how to get the DBC to copy. Any suggestions?

I stand corrected, the SQL command worked. Thanks.
