Thanks, Joe. Since my app runs with SET SAFETY OFF, the user wouldn't see such a message and COPY FILE would merrily overwrite the first-laid-down bits with the second user's copy while still writing the last of the first user's copy? Doesn't copying a flat file imply a lock on that file until the copying is done? Or am I completely misunderstanding how this works? Thanks.
