First, you can't copy a file that's embedded in the EXE. So, if you want to copy this file somewhere, you have to ship it with the app as a separate file.

The error message you're getting is showing the directory that because that's the current directory. You've probably done a SET DEFAULT TO... or CD command that moved you to a different directory.

>I have a .bmp file included in the executable, and what I try to do is to copy this .bmp file to a temporary file during the program execution.
>the file that is included in the exe is in the project directory in a subdirectory, but the project manager has no problems with that.

>But in the code when I say COPY FILE Mybitmap.BMP TO tmpfile.BMP, it gives me the error "File c:\Test\subdir\Mybitmap.BMP does not exist". Why does the program search in a subdirectory in this case? I thought, when the file is included in the exe, it searches first in the exe file itself.
