Hi Don,

Temporary remove FOF_NOERRORUI flag from flags you're passing to SHFileOperation so you can see what file causes this error. My guess is that you've one of the files/tables in that folder open exclusively and that causes the error. DISPLAY/LIST STATUS command will show the list of open tables and open files.
