Im interested in an answer. At the moment I open the tables and save as elsewhere for backup. Allen
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Newton I'm working on a project based on Visual Promatrix and I have run into problems trying to backup application and system data and what it boils down to is the fact that (e.g. using VFPCompression), open tables and databases cannot be backed up. And trying to close them before doing the backup and then re-opening them after the backup is a complete nightmare scenario ... So I need a tool (preferably free or cheap) that can backup open files - does anybody know if any of the above can do this (apart from VFPCompression, which I have already tested) ? Or another tool that can ? I've seen it mentioned elsewhere that DynaZip can do this - but I cannot get a definitive answer on this. Can anybody confirm ? No virus found in this outgoing message.
