We are trying to copy files from one directory (on a SAMBA share), to another directory (NT) with the following code:

var
fs FileSystem

src = ":IMPORT:ITEMNEW.DWN"
des = ":NEWPROMO:ITEMNEW.DWN"
fs.copy(src,des)

The IMPORT alias has been set to R:, and we are able to successfully create a mapped network drive to our SAMBA share on Win2K. We are unable to copy the files over. We get the error message "The method 'FileSystem::copy' failed. The file, "R:\Itemnew.dwn" does not exist. The drive R: either is invalid or not ready. R:\Itemnew.dwn does exist, I can see the file using Win2K.

We are also unable to set our working directory in Win95 to R: (Samba Share) with Paradox but we can with Windows 95.
 
Strange... Can you browse to the R:\ drive in Paradox (say, using a 'open table' dialog)?
