   I have a database named Main2 of about 400 Records for making mailing labels   
   (Paradox 8).   
   To back it up, I selected the Main2 family in Working (about five lines)   
   on C: drive,   
   did a Copy, and proceeded to Paste it on my Zip drive.  But by a slip of   
   the mouse I  Pasted it back on Working in C: drive. (Dam!)   
      
   Instead of  just updating the Main2 family in Working, it made a copy (about   
   five lines) directly below.   
      
   Thinking this might have been a fluke, I Pasted it into Working again. Another   
   copy of about five lines appeared, directly below the first.  So by then   
   I had the Main2 family (about five lines) with two copies   
    of about five lines each with no spacing in Working. After shutting down   
   and re-launching Paradox, I got the following in Working:   
      
   Copy (2) of Main2   
   Copy of Main2   
   Main2   
      
   These three lines are all that appeared under Working   
      
   On Open Table, the usual Main2 table came onscreen.  But there was one thing   
   missing--the Fields had lost their color--no nice red, yellow, blue, etc.   
    Proceeding to make a set of mailing   
   labels (about 210), I found that everything went normally.   
      
   I would appreciate some comments.
