Hello:

I got an interesting error message today. It was another example of an error message indicating that an error had occurred with the message not terribly useful for determining the actual error.

     Try the following
          use sometable
          copy to nothere\nothere\sometable
          copy to nothere\nothere\somecopy type xl5
where sometable is some table and nothere\nothere is a non-existent subdirectory chain.

The error message for the first copy command is "Invalid path or filename." This is sensible.

The error message for the second copy command is "OLE error code 0x80030003: Unknown COM status code." Huh?

Copying to a directory that does not exist results in an error. You even get a choice of error messages.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
