In converting an older application from Foxbase to VFP 5.0 (running under WinNT 4.0 workstation), I have run into a problem with issuing a DOS COPY command (to concatenate multiple text files into one file)using the VFP RUN command. If I select a Command (DOS) prompt from NT and do the COPY command manually from a DOS-window, it works fine. It will not work from either the VFP 5.0 command window using RUN, or programatically. I get the "flashing" black background as the RUN command tries to parse the COPY command out to the DOS window, but something is being encountered that is preventing it from being executed. I have checked to make sure that all path names and permissions/rights have been set properly.

Can anyone shed any light on this one??

Thanks.
