A couple of questions.

1.) Why are you 'replacing' files? Wouldn't it be easier to either zap and append or update the records according to a primary key?
2.) Are the dbf's excluded from the executable? If they aren't, they should be.

Out and Out replacing files can be a problem, but updating the information within a file should never be a problem.
