I was unable to replicate the problem with another table called XFormDBF. (I didn't use COPY TO command, but rather copy in explorer, then add to database)

Anyway, my original steps were:

use BtCritss (the file in Redp\DBC\Jobs\MetaFiles directory)
copy to g:\redp\dbc\jobs\BtCritssArch with cdx database JobControl
use BtCritssArch excl
zap (I need an empty clone)

I've done this process few days ago. Today I was working on the form and got various weird problems with backlink. That's how I found the problem...
