Re: VFP 8 - Closing Databases/Tables prior to encryption

The Database contain data which is distrubuted to clients - encryption is
done prior to the databases being distributed.. At the clients end the
databases are always encrypted.

Still I do need to know how to ensure that all databases/free tables are
closed before the encryption is done
