Looks to me that you have a space, just before AM - possibly due to
date/time format change. Filenames with spaces need to be in double
quotes for system copy.

Good Moring, group:
I have a Utility Billing program running at several villages, and the
backup routine which does a backup to an external drive has failed
lately at 3 clients with the same error message of 'cannot open source
file (2085). I wrote the routine years ago, and it is quite simple.
I create a variable of 'location/name/time/date' for where we are
sending the data to (VF_TO}'. This is because the operator may do
multiple backup on any given day.
The command is: COPY C:\UBILL\*.* &VF_TO
Sample trace attached. Am i doing the simplest way for a backup or
others have a better way. ??
Any 'blues' clues.
Thanks for any assistance.
Jim
