Mike You have to either delete or rename the database you are trying to rename to first.
DELETE &NDBNM.RB? RENAME PLUMBER.RB? &NDBNM.RB?

I have tried to create a cmd file to disconnect and then rename the existing database so that when a reload is done the reloaded database is not the back up. Below is the code I have tried but the line 'rename database.rb? .newdbname doesn't seem to work . I'm sure it's something simple. DISCONNECT PLUMBER SET VAR VD DATE = .#DATE SET VAR VD TEXT SET VAR SVD TEXT = (SSTRIP(.VD ,'/')) SET VAR SVD2 TEXT = (SGET(.SVD,4,1)) SET VAR NDBNM TEXT = ('ZPL'+.SVD2) RENAME PLUMBER.RB? .NDBNM.RB? LABEL ONE CONNECT SET VAR VMSG3 TEXT = ('PLEASE CONNECT TO '& .NDBNM) IF (CVAL('DATABASE')) <> .NDBNM THEN PAUSE 3 USING .VMSG3 GOTO LABEL ONE ENDIF SET MULTI OFF SET VAR vmsg TEXT SET VAR vmsg = ('Line 1:'+(CHAR(009))+(CHAR(009))&'ARE YOU READY TO RELOAD PLUMBER FROM' &(CTXT(.ndbnm))+(CHAR(013))) DIALOG .vmsg vyesno vendkey yes + CAPTION ' RELOADS THE DATABASE' + ICON APP + OPTION TITLE_FONT_COLOR BLACK + |TITLE_BACK_COLOR WHITE + |TRANSPARENCY 255 + |WINDOW_BACK_COLOR WHITE + |BUTTON_YES_CAPTION &YES + |BUTTON_NO_CAPTION &NO + |BUTTON_YES_COLOR GREEN + |BUTTON_NO_COLOR RED + |BUTTON_YES_FONT_COLOR WHITE + |BUTTON_NO_FONT_COLOR WHITE IF vyesno = 'NO' THEN GOTO end3 ENDIF SET ERROR MESSAGES ON;SET MESSAGES ON;SET ECHO ON RELOAD PLUMBER CONNECT PLUMBER SET MULTI ON SET ERROR MESSAGES OFF;SET MESSAGES OFF;SET ECHO OFF IF VYESNO = 'YES' THEN GOTO END4 LABEL END3 PAUSE 3 USING 'THE DATABASE HAS NOT BEEN RELOADED' LABEL END4 RETURN
