>>Anybody know any tricks to get Fox to see files stored in system/hidden directories with file related commands (i.e. FILE(), GETFILE(), COPY FILE)? I am working on a little utility that parses an html file which is being stored by I.E. in a system folder 'temp internet files\content.ie5'. None of the VFP commands will see the file because the directory is marked as system directory and I can't seem to change it. I can copy the file out to another directory using Explorer and then work with it in VFP, but I'd like to be able to do this in code.
