When a table is packed doesn't it copy to a temp name either a tbk or bak or something like delete then copy back the other way.
I have a dim distant recollection that an IT guy I used to work with created this problem with a rights problem. Certainly running local should prove this. Also when I pack tables I lock the dbc exclusive as well just to be safe. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Vince Teachout Sent: 25 September 2007 17:21 To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: DBFs disappearing when PACKing >> Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2007 11:44:42 -0400 >> From: "John J.
