Anybody seen this?

LOCAL ;
   lcFile,;
   laSrc[1]

lcFile = "C:\PROJECTS\COMMON\ADD.BMP"

IF ADIR(laSrc,lcFile) > 0
   COPY FILE (lcFile) TO <destination>
ENDIF

And the COPY FILE line throws an error 1, "File does not exist"--ONLY in compiled executable (.exe with Fox runtime only) but runs just fine from source code? (I started out using IF FILE(lcFile) but changed that thinking it might be the source of the problem. Changing to ADIR() made no difference.) BTW, the file DOES exist.
