Your client's foxpro screen might be crash before that try, so the file seem opened yet. In that case I restart client's pc so file will free.

>This is an interesting one....I have a client who is happily working away with their Fox 2.6/DOS app on an XP (SP2) network. Everything works well except for one procedure which executes the following statement:
>

>sele c
>use &gapchk
>copy stru to &laptck

>The last statement crashes with a "file access denied" error. The laptck variable shows the value "aptck08" which is a valid filename. No one else uses this procedure, so there isn't a chance of two people trying to print checks at once.

>The result is, that the error is actually false, as the file gets written just fine. Press "ignore" and go on, things work. However, this is obviously not a good way to run the program and I would like to figure out what's happening.
