>The above program worked until it got to a file that was 24 MB. It counted up the records, gave the message that the records were copied, hung up for a while, and then came back with a "Error writing to file" message. At this point I'm also unable to browse the open table. I get an "Error reading file" message. Display status confirms that VFP thinks the file is still open. If I re-USE the file, I can then browse it.

That *almost* sounds like a network diskspace quota was reached on the copy. VFP isn't graceful about such things.

VFP is fine on a TCP/IP-only network -- if it's set up propoerly. <g>

What's the Network OS?

"Error writing to file" is usually VFP asking the network to do something, the network saying "no", and VFP giving the only error message that makes any sense to it.

How ya been, by the way?
