I still use DOS lha.exe to compress data. From my code:

Run /3 lha a dbfs *.dbf

Run /3 lha a dbfs *.fpt

Run /3 lha a dbfs *.cdx


I have been doing this forever. All of a sudden this week, only the
third on is in the archive. I watch closely and all three "create"
the dbfs.lzh. Create is part of the lha.

I can do this from the command prompt and it works. All the dbf, fpt,
and cdx file are archived.

This is after a week where I have been chasing tableupdates and
flushes to stop losing data. Any idea why lha all of a sudden quit
working?

VFP 5 and all patches.

Try putting all 3 lines into one batch file,
take out all the "/3"
and then RUN batchfile
