copying files

[iroosma]

I am trying to copy a file from a network to my C drive in a microsoft access module. I am using

FileCopy "N:\apps\apcert.dbf", "C:\apcert.dbf"

This works sometimes but sometimes it does not. I think that is because apcert.dbf might be in use sometimes. Is there a way to set permissions or something like that so that the file will always copy.

Thanks
Ian
