Hi Melanie, The reverse slash (/ not \) shouldn't be a problem. I think FME can handle it whichever way that is. In fact I just tried it and it works fine (but check your seed file setting in WB if you want to change it to make sure).
The message is the one that I get when running a workspace with the destination already open in MicroStation, so I wonder if that's the problem. Can you open a command (dos) window and enter the same copy command to see if it works? I'm thinking that FME is probably just issuing such a command in some way and this is what fails. EG... copy V:\GIS_Updates\FME_CAD_Updates/Seed_File\KITCHENER_SEED.dgn V:\GIS_Updates\FME_CAD_Updates Besides that, try doing the batch without batching the output file to see if that works. Or is that what you're already doing? I'm wondering if we're getting tangled up in copying the seed before the last batch has finished (doubtful, but...) By the way, what version and build are you using? I'm using an FME2007 beta. Regards, Mark Mark Ireland, Senior Product Specialist Safe Software Inc.
