Paige,

No, the 'copy file'does not have a for clause. But we can get around that

DateFrom = date(2003,5, 30)
DateTo = date(2003, 5, 30)

FolderFrom = 'E:\CVS3\PDFS\'
FolderTo = 'e:\cvs3\uploadPDFs\'

gnPDFnumber = ADIR(NEWPDFS,FolderFrom + "*.PDF")
FOR nCount = 1 TO gnPDFnumber
    
    FileName = NEWPDFS[nCount, 1]
    FileModDate =  NEWPDFS[nCount, 3]
    && between
    do case
    case !between(FileModDate, DateFrom, DateTo)
        && do nothing

    otherwise
        copy file (FolderFrom + FileName) to (FolderTo + FileName)
 
    endcase
endfor

As to the several hundred .pfds, there is a limit of 13000 (65000/5) file entries. Either move the source files from time to time, or do this for files starting with a, b, .... or else, sys(2000) has no limits but you will have to get the filemoddate with fdate()
