Laurie, Thought you'd cracked it there but the copy procedures command does nothing at all, simply creates a zero byte file. Alan's solution works so I'll go with that and check each table for all triggers. The program I am amending is a constant DBC backup program that has been working for years but never had to bother with triggers before!
Thanks guys.

With a bit of editing of the output file, it might do what you want.
