Yeah, it works fine on my system too, and I'm running practically the same directory structure as my client. I have a feeling he just wasn't paying attention very carefully when I was talking to him on the phone. That's why I'm going there. But after he claimed there was some bug with COPY FILE, I wanted to check if anyone knows about it. I couldn't find anything in the MSKB.
