That seems to be what I need. Now I just have to test it. Thanks a lot! In case anyone else is interested, here is what it says: John Sowden, 2004-11-25: when I attempt to copy a file accross a lan (netbios type lan) I get a "lock violation" error wne using the latest/last version of 4dos. I have tried a previous version of 4dos with no prblem. What's changed? What's the work arround? Charles Dye, 2004-11-27: This issue was mentioned in the support forum a few months back. Apparently 4DOS attempts to lock the source file before the COPY starting with version 7.01. [...] if it's a peer-to-peer network and the remote machine is running some version of DOS, then loading SHARE on the remote machine might conceivably help. If all else fails, just use XCOPY for this specific situation.
