I've written a small app to copy a directory from one location to another as a backup and it's giving me the weirdest errors. Any enlightenment would be gratefully received.
The directory being copied is D:\CELEBRATION FILE which is being copied to F:\Backup\ If I run as an app from the directory D:\COPYUTIL I get the following errors: One error is with the line COPY (tcSourceFile) TO (tcTargetName). The source file shows as D:\CELEBRATION FILE\SOURCECODE\PRGS\MAIN.FXP in Debug. The target name is F:\BACKUP\Mirror20070318a\SOURCECODE\PRGS\MAIN.FXP The error message is File C:\docume~1\john\locals#1\temp\main.fxp does not exist! Another is where two of the files being copied CONTROL.SCX, and CONTROL.SCT in the folder D:\CELEBRATION FILE\SOURCECODE\FORMS are shown as being in use - but they shouldn't be. This app uses a form CONTROL but a totally different folder. If I run as an exe from C:\Program Fils\CopyUtil I get the following errors: File 'c:\program files\copyutil\dbfs\about.dbf' does not exist. File 'c:\program files\copyutil\dbfs\logos.dbf' does not exist. File 'c:\program files\copyutil\forms\control.sct' does not exist. File 'c:\program files\copyutil\forms\control.scx' does not exist. File 'c:\vfp9 common code\graphics\h_point.cur' does not exist. Which is quite correct - they don't as they are components of the exe and exist in D:\CopyUtil\Sourcecode\. There are over 1500 files in the folder I'm copying and the rest copy without any problems. I'm baffled! But for the fact I hate being beaten I'd have replaced the lot by RUN XCOPY...
