Can you do a FILE() before attempting to copy the file?
lcTargetFile = "c:\test\target.dbf"
IF FILE(lcTargetFile)
&& Log that the file already exists
ELSE
TRY
COPY FILE (lcSourceFile) TO (lcTargetFile)
CATCH
&& Log problem of copying file.
ENDTRY
ENDIF
I've been using the COPYFILE from the WIN32API because it is faster than
the VFP based COPY FILE command. It might be worth looking into. I'm a
WebConnect customer so they have that in the wwAPI class.
HTH.
