The variables are actually fields in a table with a list of files and where they need to be copied to. The contents vary, but it seems to be having a space in the file names that kill it.

Aha! I just found a way to do it. I went over to copy the code for you and noticed in the last thing I tried to do, I forgot the word "FILE". I added that and it worked. (That wasn't the problem in the original code, just the latest experiment)

Here's how it's working:

lcCommand = [COPY FILE"]+mFromPath+[" TO "]+mToPath+["]
EXECSCRIPT(lcCommand)

Thanks,

Michelle
