Re: CPYFRMIMPF question

Thomas,

That is normal behaviour. Excel and (I think too) Word lock the file in 
question. When that programme has the file open, you cannot append, replace, 
copy or delete it.

Either give the new file a different name, or ask the user (if you know who) to 
close the file. 

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler
