Hi everyone,

I have this code in a form that copies files from backup folder/file using Shell.Application. When I run the form in VFP before compiling it into Exe file it does as expected copying the files.But when compiled into an exe file and run in Windows 7 it doesn't work., Same Exe file runs in Windows XP.
Any idea why it works when run in VFP and not when after its been compiled to an Exe file and run in Windows 7, but works in Window XP?

Any idea would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Sonny
LOCAL lcDirPath, lcCurrentDir, oShell,  oDstFolder
Do while .T.
   With ThisForm
	lcCurrentDir  = ALLTRIM(SYS(5))+ALLTRIM(SYS(2003))
        lcDirPath     = ALLTRIM(.txtDirPath.Value)
        IF EMPTY(.txtDirPath.Value)
            Messagebox("Directory Pathname is Empty",0+16,"Invalid Entry")
            Exit
        ENDIF
        IF .NOT. DIRECTORY(.txtDirPath.Value)
            Messagebox("Directory Pathname Not Found!",0+16,"Invalid Entry")
            Exit
        ENDIF
        SET SAFETY OFF
	oShell = CREATEOBJECT("Shell.Application")
	oDstFolder = oShell.NameSpace("&lcCurrentDir"+"\datafile")
	IF VARTYPE(oDstFolder)="O"
	     oDstFolder.CopyHere("&lcDirPath"+"\*.*")
	ENDIF
