Subject Re: DOS command From Andy Taylor <andy.taylor.1959@outlook.com> Date Sat, 25 Jun 2022 09:33:50 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hi Ed, Your code doesn't work because you have doubled up on the ! (or run) command. Run Run XCOPY g:\excel\cash012022.csv  G:\CASH.CSV Is there a reason why you are using DOS commands here? You could just use the dBASE copy file command instead. stname = "g:\excel\cash012022.csv" stname = "copy file "+stname+" "+"G:\CASH.CSV" &stname. Regards, Andy > Why doesn't  this work? >      stname="g:\excel\cash012022.csv" >      stname="!XCOPY " + stname + " G:\CASH.CSV" >      !stname
