>Is there a way to move data tables from one DBC to another, aleady-exisiting database without first freeing it (which I assume will lose all DBC-specific stuff like captions and long field names)? Long ago, I dumbly put one of application's tables into three different databases (each in a different folder) and would like to consolidate them. I've no problem hacking the database files if needed, but am not sure of everything I should look out for.

Sorry, what I should have said is that I dispersed the application's tables into three different databases, not that I had duplicated any one table in more than one DBC. Other respondents reminded me of the DATABASE parameter in VFP's COPY TO command, which was what I needed. Thanks!
