Hi Rick,

Try to change your code to use name expression

* Get current directory including drive letter and ending backslash
lcCurrPath = FULLPATH("")
COPY FILE (reports+'\slim0c_c.frx') TO (lcCurrPath + 'slim.frx')
COPY FILE (reports+'\slim0c_c.frt') TO (lcCurrPath + 'slim.frt')

>Hi Sergey,
>For simplicity I left off part of my actual lines of code. The real lines read:
>COPY FILE reports+'\slim0c_c.frx' TO sys(2023)+'\slim.frx'
>COPY FILE reports+'\slim0c_c.frt' TO sys(2023)+'\slim.frt'
