In the Copy file command in the first line of code, are those the tables and cdx's being copied?
If so you don't need the rest of the code. You'd only need to zap the local tables if any data is in them to start with empty tables.

When are the users getting these errors? When trying to use the tables/indexes or during the copying code below?

after you run the copying code, are the appropriate dbf, cdx (and fpt if any) files actually there?


Variable 'MYTAG' not found - this will occur if the tag is missing from the cdx or the cdx is missing, since when it doesn't find the cdx or index tag, it then assumes MYTAG is a variable

Index tag not found - i can only get this error when setting the index using index number (e.g. Set Order To 2 when only 1 index)

Structural .cdx file is missing - occurs when the table assumes it has an index file that belongs to it and cannot find it.
