David,
Maybe you can forcefully check if it's completed.

handle=fopen(TargetFile,12)
if handle<=0
 messagebox(ferror())
else
 lnSizeWritten=fseek(handle,0,2)
 =fclose(handle)
endif
lnSizeWritten=fsize(lcSource)

As I remember you were using VFP5. If VFP6 you could also StrToFile() and FileToStr().
