I know that this is not a specific AREV problem but I think this is where I may get an answer. There is a file on the file server and on the laptop which we download the AREV files to, to take the info to Boat Shows etc. offsite. The last download a file was created named +U with 

no extension. I can't delete the file rename the file or copy over the

file the error says cannot find file check path. This prevents me from

copying the new data on to the laptop. Does anyone have a suggestion

on how to delete this file, plus you cannot change the properties of 

the file. It is listed as archive.

<QUOTE>Mark,



The '+' sign is what is giving DOS fits.  It's not a valid character for a filename.  Your best bet is to write a quick utility in VB to rename it or copy it to another file.
