| I am trying my best to remember what all I had to do 6 years ago and I'm
currently supporting an old app written in VFP 6.0. I have a COPY STRU
statement that creates a prompt asking me if I would like to replace the
existing copy that will be overwritten by the COPY STRU command. Is there a
SET SAFETY OFF statement of some sorts that eliminates the prompt? I just
need it to go ahead and replace/overwrite.

| Yes, SET SAFETY OFF is what you need.

| Is there also a way to show the statusbar progress? My table is big and the
server is slow.

| I've never seen a structure large enough to warrant a progress bar. Try SET
NOTIFY ON and/or SET TALK ON.

The COPY STRUCTURE command alone just
copies the structure, that doesn't cost much time
in any case.
There may be more code that afterwards creates
a new table with the same structure and copies
the original data o that new table.
You may replace all this code with COPY TO.
Bye, Olaf.
