Re: [DUG] Copying files problem

Title: Message

We get this sometimes.  Its as if the app has different access rights to the user, even on Win2K.  We had an incident (still unresolved) a few days ago.... Maybe its new windows updates.  One thing to note is that since Win95 (at least), windows does the following :- To Copy file from DirA to DirB 1.  Make DirB the current directory 2.  Copy from DirA 3.  Change back to original Current Directory Sometimes, step 1 fails but there are no errors and it copies the file into the current directory instead.  And I cant figure out any way to detect this !! John Bird wrote: I copy program files using a line like:   copyfile(Pchar(File1),Pchar(File2),false);   Sometimes this fails for no obvious reason (File2 is not in use for instance), and if I open Windows explorer and copy from there it usually works, if not if I delete the destination file and then paste works fine.  To my mind this proves it is not a problem with permissions to write into this folder...   File1 is on the server, File2 is local on C drive.   any ideas?   Background: This is a neat way of updating programs - updated exe files are loaded into a central update folder (which is not used except for copying from), and the startup program copies any updated programs into the local C drive working folder before any programs are in use.   Works wonderfully except on one site......I wonder the problem is from not being administrator or something in the PC setup being locked down....(although I don't know why as Windows Explorer works)     John Bird email  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  [EMAIL PROTECTED] Expert in Beyond Software Ph land (03)384-4527  mobile (027)484-4528 92 Soleares Ave, Mt Pleasant Christchurch Web www.jbcl.co.nz     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Gary T.
