Try copying your file using ShellExecute, this way it will be Windows doing the copying rather than your FoxPro app.

Do you need more info on shellExecute?

>>>I'm running a program MyProg.exe. I want the program to copy itself to another directory, but Copy File refused to copy a file which is opened. I can still copy the file in window explorer so I think it should be possible. Do anyone have any idea, such that I can make the program copy itself away?
