Hi Tracey

Correct, if I type (in the C:\ folder) DIR *.ZIP > YESY.TXT, I get Access is

denied

I have quit my program

I go back into the command window of the folder where I have all source code

etc (for this specific app)

I again type ?FILE("C:\KCB.ZIP")

and the reply is .T.

I go SET DEFAULT TO C:\

DIR *.*

and I can see KCB.ZIP

This is bizarre
