Moving DBC w/ tables and re-creating the backlink help

[OasisChurch]

I am trying to automate the recreation of the backlink thur a program (exe). I can manualy do this by opening foxpro and using the commands VALIDATE DATABASE RECOVER. however, it makes me click "OK" for every table. Is there a way to automate this process.

Thanks is Advance!!!

When you ask VFP questions, please add VFP version.

Thanks for the Commands Ramani, However, when I build the executable and run it, it gives me the error message of:
"Command is only allowed in interactive mode"

Here are my commands:
SET CONFIRM OFF
SET SAFETY OFF
OPEN DATABASE test01
VALIDATE DATABASE RECOVER

EXIT

Thanks for your help

What version of VFP are you using? It seems RECOVER has only started being supported in programs as of VFP7.0
From the help file:
RECOVER
Displays dialogs that make it possible for you to locate tables and indexes that are not in the locations contained in the database. In this version of Visual FoxPro, the RECOVER clause is supported in programs.

Hi Mike,
I am using Ver.6. Version 7 has the abilty to by-pass the
"OK" menus when trying to re-create the backlink from a program(exe)?

Thanks,
