FoxPro 2.6 compatibilty with Windows 2000?????

[phaas]

Hi! Data processing analyst, fairly new, and need some help. I run foxpro 2.6 for DOS and the entire company will be upgraded to 2000...PRoblem is that when I run a process for reports that is supposed to copy to a shared directory, it always comes up with path not found. Found this running tests for 2000) Now I can reach this path and follow thru and also can copy it from command prompt to that directory..so obviously works in DOS so I tried to call a batch file from my foxpro program and still no such luck! Any suggestions would be immensly appreciated. [sig][/sig]

do case
case the directory/filename is a long filename or contains a character not authorized in dos ver < 6
Enclose the directory and filename in quotes
example
lcfilename = sys(3)+&quot;_test.dbf&quot;
lcdir = &quot;c:\program files\fpd_26\&quot;
lcfile = '[red]&quot;[/red]'+lcDir +lcfilename+'[red]&quot;[/red]'
copy file ('[red]&quot;[/red]'+lcfilename+'[red]&quot;[/red]') to (lcFile)

case file already exists or convert it to a dos8.3 name
see the FAQ area on the source code for getdos83().
lcfilename = sys(3)+&quot;_test.dbf&quot;
lcFile1 = getdos83(lcFilename)
lcdir = &quot;c:\program files\fpd_26\&quot;
lcfile2=getdos83(lcDir+lcFilename)
copy file ( lcFile1) to (lcFile2)

otherwise
Hope someone else can help you
