Replacing tables that are closed 1

[MagicFrisbee]

I have a program that, ideally, updates its local databases with the click of a button. First, it shuts down all of the tables throughout the program, which are all in the data module. But even with the tables closed, Windows complains that the files are in use. I have opened all the forms in the application and verified that there are no tables open. What could be the problem?

Ooh, you're good! Yes, the IDE was locking it, not my application! When run outside the IDE (like, from Windows Explorer), I was able to update the underlying tables! Yahoo! (and I mean that in the sense of "an exclamation of glee", not the search engine).
