I have discovered that Utility ("COPYFILE"….) in OI 9.1.1 fails when the filename contains ¿.
Probably other characters too.
When the files are .mp3, it is useful for the filename to be the same as the track/song name.
Since ? is common and Windows does not allow a ? in a filename we convert ? to ¿ for storage.
We could convert back when displaying the name.
I wonder if there is a workaround to allow a filecopy when three is a ¿ in the filename.
Perhaps SRP Computer Solutions has a solution. I will check.
I see Don is currently logged in.
Cheers!
Have fun,

Just a shot in the dark, but have you enabled UTF-8 mode to see if this makes a difference?

Don,
Good shot, but yes everything in UTF-8 mode. Lots of 'special' characters.
