Copy File command

[MaryG]

Hi,

Does anyone know if you can use a variable for the file name when using the VFP COPY FILE command? I see how you can use it by hardcoding the actual filename you are copying from and to, but is there any way to use it or another command if you want the filename you are copying from and to to be a variable that is determined by the program?

I appreciate any help anyone can offer.


Thanks
Mary

Perhaps this.

lcFileOrig = 'c:\myfile.txt'
lcFileDest = 'd:\myfile.bck'
COPY FILE (lcFileOrig) to (lcFileDest)

Thanks so much Mike. I looked through the documentation and couldn't figure out that you had to put it in parentheses!

Your help is much appreciated.
