Thanks to all for the input and feedback - it is wonderful!
I started with what I thought would be a reasonably simple project (for
a Sunday morning when everyone was sleeping) to make backing up a db
simple. What I got back were great ideas and more insight on the power
of R:Base. So, thanks again.

Mike,

On my machine (CVAL('drives')) gave me the following value:
CDENs

I was using R:Base 2000 v6.5++ for Windows Build:
1.859xRT03.

CHOOSE vDrive FROM Drives.mnu AT 5,10
presented only  C:  E:  N:  S:

Drive D:, the drive I was actually on, was not listed.
