Thanks Craig.
Unfortunately, I can't make it to user group meetings because of a permanent scheduling conflict. I appreciate the invitations, though, and hope it's going well.
We are using VFP 7 on this particular application.

>>I have a routine used to backup data to a user specified drive. The code fails to create the directory on a Windows XP Home computer if the user selects the root of any drive to place the backup directory in. In its simplest form, here is the code that fails:
>>
>>
>> MDISKDRV = GETDIR("C:","Backup Directory")
>> MDISKDRV = MDISKDRV + "BPABCK"
>> MD (MDISKDRV)
>>
>> COPY FILE *.DBF TO (MDISKDRV+"\*.DBF")
>>
>>
>>The odd thing is that this code works when run interpretively on the computers that it fails on when run in a compiled executable. The only computers that it fails on in our network are our 2 XP Home machines.

>>Any suggestions?

>>Thanks.
