Hi Rick,

Just a SWAG, maybe your current directory is different when you copy from menu and from function and in the last case you have the slim.fr* files in the current directory marked as read only?

As workaround or alternative you can try to copy a report as a table

USE slim0c_c.frx 
COPY TO slim.frx
USE

>When I run thru the code via a function call from one of my screens, I get a "File Access Denied" message involving the (report) files I'm trying to copy, even tho this is the only place in the system where these files are referenced and I'm the only user in the system and no other developer is in the files (also, the files have not been moved or modified recently, which lets the virus checker off the hook this time).
