Hi Sergey,
I spoke too soon! AAARRRGGHHH!!!
I just continued checking and there is another place where this behavior is happening! and I can't by-pass this section of code!!

I wish I knew why this is happening!!

I have to make a release and I'm dead in the water!

>>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'
>>>
>>>where reports is a global variable containing the complete drive and path to the REPORTS directory of my application.
>>>Also, when the error occurs, I can go to the command window and issue the EXACTLY SAME command....and it works! I can then RESUME my program and everything is fine...until I get to that line the next time I need it.

>>>A couple lines before I get to the "Copy" command I "SET SAFETY OFF" then reset it to "ON" if it was on before...

>>>I hadn't thought of using the "COPY TO" and will do that next.

>>>btw - none of these files have their properties set to read-only or hiden or system or achive

>>>Thanks,
>>>I'll let you know if the COPY TO works.
