I can easily do something like this:
CREATE DATABASE C:\Backup\MyDBC.dbc
OPEN DATABASE C:\Production\MyDBC.dbc
liNumTables = adbobjects(laTables,'TABLE')

use laTables[ii]
copy to (lcFile) database C:\Backup\MyDBC.dbc with cdx

Great. But what's the easiest way to get all of the DBC meta-data
into
that new Backup database copy? I can't USE the MyDBC.dbc and do a
COPY
TO as that only makes the result a DBF and FPT.
An easy way to get a copy of the data is to have a copy of all the data
in another folder, then using your loop above, zap each table and
append
from the live data. We use it here as a rough and ready backup during
the day, while people are in the system. Your copy then has all the
same meta data as the original.
Hi Peter,
I see no difference between my COPY TO <the backup folder table> versus
doing an APPEND FROM <Production table> from my backup table. ???
Am I mistaken?
