>When a file is copied from a cd-rom to harddrive, that file is read-only. Is there any simple way to change the attribute using foxpro(vfp 3.0) commands ?

I found the answer to this in the knowledge base here in U.T. - it came in quite handy. I have my code at work rather than here at home, tho - let me know if you cannot find it in the U.T.K.B. and I'll dredge out a code snippet from my own spagetti code at work.
