Don't ever use FoxPro's getfile()/putfile(). Instead, use the equivalent Win32 API method calls.

There are 2 easy ways to do this:

1. Download Carlos Alloti's ctl32 project (I can't find a link right now!! - someone?)
2. Download Christian Elscheid's VFP2C32 fll. (http://vfpx.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=VFP2C32&referringTitle=Home)

Both have easy to use functions that are wrappers around the Win API calls, and give you a TON of extra Fox functionality.

Hope this helps,

Eric
