Thanks, Alastair:
Yes, there are three spaces in the VF_TO variable, but isn't the 'cannot open
source file' referring to the 'C:\UBILL\*.*' of the copy command ?
Still searching. Jim

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.
