>I need to copy files from one directory to another while in vfp. The COPY FILE command works great as long as the file I am copying is in the directory that I am operating vfp from. Basically I am looking for a command or work around that permits me to operate vfp from a different directory that the file I am copying and then specify the directory to which I want to copy into.

You can use Name Expression.

lcFromFile = "C:\MyDirectory\MyFile.txt"
lcToFile = "d:\MyOtherDirectory\FilesNewName.txt"
COPY FILE (lcFromFile) TO (lcToFile)
