Thanks for the response Ed.
The backlash is in the path variable.
I can copy to the root directory but not the subdirectory.
I checked the permissions and that is not an issue. I can physically map to the subdirectory and open files.
I have restarted VFP (maybe an environment setting).
This is out of the blue. It was running last week.


>>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.

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