>Here is a good one. I always use variable's to hold a path to various servers. Example: (gsDbfpath = '\\someserver\somedirectory'). Command: Copy To (gsDbfPath+'somefile.xls') type XLS.

>All of a sudden VFP does not like this. I now get a 'File Access Denied' error when this line of code runs. if I put (gsDbfPath+'somefile.xls') in a variable it works. Does anyone know why. I have quite a number of apps I use this syntax in without ANY problems. I did recompile the app but had not changed anything other than updating a report. I am concerned.

The first obvious problem is the lack of a trailing backslash in the target path - you may need to say:

Copy To (ADDBS(gsDbfPath)+'somefile.xls') type XLS

Leaving that out results in an invalid UNC reference.
