 UNC path statements |
 |
1) Delete command works (thanks) had to use pushd.exe command to get sqltodbf.exe to run
del "\\server name\share\*.dbf"
del "\\server name\share\*.cdx"
rem pushd.exe creates mapping
pushd \\server name\share\
SQLTODBF.EXE
rem removes pushd drive mapping
popd
2) Unable to get the UNC path statement correct for running the foxpro.exe and its associated .prg file (need to set its path) to run in the .prg directory.
R:\data\projs\fox25dos\foxpro Q:\Gtwy\SQLtoDBF\DoIndex.prg
3) Unable to get the UNC path right for copying files from one directory to another
copy country.dbf r:\data\projs\dbf
Thanks

What's definition of R: ?
Does FoxPro suport UNC-based file names?

Well then... if you don't describe in detail what you are doing, how do you expect me to help you? Sorry but I cannot guess somehow where you might have a syntax error or a logical error if I cannot see the exact command.
If you get an error message, please provide the complete error text, the complete command that led to that error and the context in which it was executed.
If you don't want to use real server name, you can replaces some characters, for example, letters R with X, X with N, but don't use replace or use any non-letters, special characters and spaces for the substitution, so we can see whether they cause any problems.

\\server\share1\foxpro.exe \\server\share2\DoIndex.prg |
Have you tried running \\server\share1\foxpro.exe ? Do you get the same error? If yes, what is returned by dir \\server\share1\*.exe ?
