>Is there some magic you are using here? If I specify the Backup copy of the DBC container in the COPY TO DATABASE clause, it tells me that the name is already used by the DBC, please choose another. Anyway, I'm about to go to back to the old "make sure everyone is off and try to lock the database container...method", but I thought I'd give you a shout to see if I missed something first.

It's been a while since I did this (and for some reason, I couldn't find the original code). At any rate, if I remember right, I >think< the "magic" was that I was using Stonefield Database Toolkit (SDT) metadata along with this. I don't think I copied the indexes along with the data, and as soon as I got a copy of the data I immediately used Stonefield (either programmatically, or "manually") to rebuild the tables for me with the correct indexes/field names.
