Hi Paul, thanks for the reply.

I already know Your great backup-restore dll.

Works fine, special mention to the remarkable status property.
Your solution solve the problem of Eddy Bush, some days ago.

But I cannot use it, because I don't have the rights to copy the Dll
necessary to run Your work.

I can ONLY work with 1 exe and the Fdb.

If things change I'll use it. Thanks.

Ciao
Arnaldo
