Bob, I tried your suggestion and I am having no luck. It seems as if the copy function is just responding. Do you know if this is an RBase command or a command of the operating system? I just wonder if something has changed along the line and I am just now noticing a change in function.

If I remember correctly, it works with & on the first and . on the second. I cannot test it at present, but give it a try. -Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: Gary <mailto:[email protected]> Wendike To: RBASE-L Mailing List <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 9:52 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Copy Command I am having a brain freeze at this time. I am using the copy command to rename files using student names within the file name. Just trying to personalize the information. I do this for 3 files. There can be a total of 7 attachments emailed to the student. The problem: The copy command does not seem work. I know I have used the copy command in the past to recreate the attachments with the student names as a part of the file. However, at this point, I cannot get the copy command to work. The command I use is: Copy &vfile5 &vfile5a Of course the file names are a composite of commands. The file is being copied from one directory to the current directory and adding the name of the student. Below is the actual definitions. vfile5 = C:\AFOLBI\AP_Info\DrMinistryHa TEXT ndbook.pdf vfile5a = DrMinistryHandbook_Patty_Eisen TEXT mann.pdf As I mentioned, I have done this in the past with no problems. But as today, this does not work. Does anyone have any ideas what I may be missing? Thanks Gary _____ No virus found in this incoming message.
