A few months ago we had a discussion about using a DOS batch file to backup DXbase files. If you've upgraded to DXbase 2004, don't forget to update it with the new path for DXbase 2004 instead of 2003.
BTW, if you don't have one and want to try it, mine looks like this: Rem Copy all important DXBase files to a Mapped Drive H: copy "C:\Program files\Scientific Solutions\DXbase 2004\*.CO" H:\DXbBak\ copy "C:\Program files\Scientific Solutions\DXbase 2004\*.mdb" H:\DXbBak\ copy "C:\Program files\Scientific Solutions\DXbase 2004\*.ini" H:\DXbBak\ copy C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts H:\DXbBak Rem Copy all important DXBase files to another Hard Drive on my system copy "C:\Program files\Scientific Solutions\DXbase 2004\*.CO" D:\Backups\DXbBak\ copy "C:\Program files\Scientific Solutions\DXbase 2004\*.mdb" D:\Backups\DXbBak\ copy "C:\Program files\Scientific Solutions\DXbase 2004\*.ini" D:\Backups\DXbBak\ copy C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts D:\Backups\DXbBak\ I have a shortcut icon on the desktop and run it with DXbase shutdown. Takes just a few seconds to run. Jim N7US
