    File_Copy and """

    I have been chasing my tail trying to figure why I was getting an Error 75 until I passed a string without quotes

    Before:

    File_Copy( CHR$(34)+myPath+Filename+CHR$(34),CHR$(34)+NewPath+Filename+CHR$(34) )

    After

    File_Copy( myPath+Filename, NewPath+Filename )

    I was calling a shell command before doing the file_copy and the filename required quotes so I didnt think I was doing anything wrong

    Not really a bug but more a heads up.

    Regards

    Mike

    I'm sorry but I do not what to do to avoid such problems.

    Shelling is passing a string to another process so in some cases it is necessary to quote command and/or parameters
    File_Copy is a direct command so if you pass a quote in the file name it will be interpreted as part of the name.
