Hi Barbara,

Just noticed that you have brackets around the to and from files. Normally there are no brackets, so my guess is this is the problem.

I had similar things happen to me using DELETE FILE("filename.ext"). I had been using delete this way for many years and it was only when I was getting the occasional file not deleted that the UT set me straight and no problems since.
