Nothing works so I’m just going to wait until next Wednesday and see if a new 
Windows Update isn’t released to fix whatever the problem is.  I’m experiencing 
the same behavior on the cloud server too…

I think, "technically" you DELete records from a database and ERASE files from 
the directory/folder.

I usually make sure that I have the DOS command correct and then in R:Base 
create a variable & activate that:

SET VAR vEraseFile TEXT = 'ERASE C:\Temp\*.*'
&vEraseFile

and

SET VAR vEraseFile TEXT = 'ERASE "C:\Temp\Folder with spaces\*.*" '

Alastair.

Thanks Dan and Buddy,

ERASE or DELETE get the same result.  No spaces in filename2.  Both filename1 
and filename2 are UNC.

Commands work at R:> prompt…

Sorry send button to easy to hit ☺

If the filename2 contains spaces then you will need to enclose in filename2 in 
quotes.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - ERASE filespec

Hello all,

I’m having a bit of a headache with an ERASE filespec command which has worked 
reliably for weeks, works reliably from the R:> prompt and yields “Failed 
deleting… (2262)” then “Cannot create destination file (2086)” from within a 
form when I:
ERASE .filename2
And
COPY .filename1 .filename2

Permissions are ok…  Undoubtedly my fault but I can’t find it, help!

TIA,

Claudine
