Hi Don,
I don't know how to use the copy unless you call it a different name. Otherwise you can USE K:\asdf\IncludedTableName and you will get the included file, even if there's no K and no folder asdf. You can tell 'cause it's ReadOnly. Just remember, when you include a file, VFP will use it, even if you think you are specifying another. That's my experience... so use a different name like
USE IncludedTableName && No path needed.
COPY TO C:\Temp\AnotherName
USE C:\Temp\AnotherName && works
