The dBASE Book Plus is meant to refer back to The dBASE Book. I chose to create a book that talked about updates, since the third edition of The dBASE Book was huge (two volumes, because Amazon's Print on Demand seems to have a page count maximum, I had to split it ...). Since you're trying to move tables from one location to the one that has a database, you may want to use the COPY TABLE command, instead of the copyTable() method of the database object. I would suggest creating, so you don't have to keep typing the path for the old table location(s), a variable such as cPath: cPath = "C:\MyOldApp\MyTables\" if you add the backslash at the end, you won't have to add it in the command ... Then, in the folder that you want to copy the table TO: copy table ( cPath + "Tablename" ) to "Tablename" where "Tablename" in quotes is the actual name of the table, so if you had a table named customers: copy table ( cPath + "Customers" ) to "Customers" And repeat for each table you want to copy ...
