Hi Adam,

Does 'working copy of the dbc' mean in use?

Try this as a test:

OPEN DATABASE MyDBC  && This makes sure that the DBC is in use
USE MyDBC.dbc IN 0 AGAIN ALIAS MyDBCCopy   && Open the the DBC as a table
SELECT MyDBCCopy
DO ...   && run routine to copy the contents

>No not really, it doesn't copy properly... I need a working copy of the dbc.

HTH,
Arriyel
