Internal report file needed as external FRX file

[csr]

When I create the executable (EXE) file for my applications I always include all of the FRX (report) files within the executable. I wish to continue with this practice.

However, I have a need to have a few of those FRX files be external to the EXE so another application can use it.

Is there someway to make a copy of the internal version of the file and put it on the disk as a standalone file and do all of this from within the EXE file ?

Is it as simple as COPY file XXX.FRX to SSS.FRX ?

You can try to open it from the code as a table first,
then do COPY TO, not COPY FILE. COPY FILE requires file to be closed, and as a closed file it doesn't exist. COPY TO requires it to be open, and when you open it, it creates a temporary one on the disk. Don't forget to specify the extensions of both source and target files.

Stella .... Bingo !

That worked. Thank you very much.
