When I use the Wizard to import a local Excel file or an Excel file on the server, I receive the error &quot;an error occurred making a temporary copy of <location and file name>...HOWEVER, if I type 'SET DEFAULT TO <LOCATION>' at the command window in VFP and THEN use the wizard to import an Excel file, it will allow me to do it....
Anyone know why I have to set the default before I can import?

Thanks!
 
Hi Kalemo,
May be you are having a long file name with spaces which is creating a confusion to the command.
Try giving the FileName within QUOTES
&quot;My Document\myFileName&quot;
