The source file could be open. You can try getting an FLOCK before you attempt your copy. You also might want to look into using the Windows API to copy the file instead of the old xBase COPY FILE command.

Subject: Photo capture

I'm still totally lost trying to capture a photo via AVICAP32, so now

trying alternatives.

Using the Windows software Camera to take a photo.

All is good. It places the photo into a folder

C:\Users\Sytze\Pictures\Camera Roll

cdirs=FILETOSTR('picloc.txt')

ldirs=cdirs+"*.jpg"

lPics=ADIR(picfiles,ldirs)

trcask350 =cdirs+picfiles(1,1) &&Yes, it now knows the picture

trcask351 =Sys(5)+Curdir()+"PICS\"+Alltrim(Str(matties.code))+"_PHOTO.JPG"

**all is good at this stage

COPY FILE (trcask350) TO (trcask351)

Here's the problem

The file in the 2nd location is a zero byte file

Can anyone suggest why this is so?
