Hello Freaks, I'm sorry, but I'm not very good in English. So I think someone of you may help me. I'm beginner in computer- communications and in programming. I wrote a few applications in Germany with Clipper Summer '87. he problem to solve is, It the programm to force a safety-copie from the database and its index-files from any current directory and any logged drive fix to drive A, when finishing the session. The clipper gives a very good solution for the database-file with control of the rest-capacity from drive A and the comparison of the size from the database. But I don't know how to recognize the size of the pending index-files. For this I wrote all applications with the control for the pendeing index-files, and if they are lost I have an error, telling that error and after that reeindexing. But it would be nicer to save the index-files also automatically and for that I should know, how to getheir sizes within clipper. I can't the language C nor enough assembler. Thanks for your suggestes to a beginner. I'm user in uucp.cosmonet (I'm shure, I never understand electronic mailing addresses).

Taxi 639 (in a way i can understand) to this forum in cosmonet. from the database in any current directory and any logged drive.
