Board index » cppbuilder » Having problems copying files using CopyFile or CopyFileEx

When I try to copy a file using
CopyFile("File1", "File2", FALSE);
I get a dialog that asks for "system.pas". I have done a search
and have found no such file on my system.
I get the same prompt when I use the CopyFileEx function.
Thanks!

with System.pas at all. There is no way you can get that dialog at runtime.
Perhaps you are running your program inside the IDE, and you are debugging
your program, and the IDE itself is asking for that file while you are
stepping through your code? That is the only scenerio I can think of that
would trigger such a dialog.

I guess I should have been more specific, but when I made the last post I
was in
a hurry. Yes, I was running my program from the IDE, so then that's when I
get
the prompt for the system.pas file. No such file exists on my system as far
as I
can tell; I did a search and found nothing. I am not sure why this is
happening
because I have another project that uses the CopyFileEx function and it
compiles
and runs fine.
Thanks

about the possibility of you debugging and stepping through code that would
be the cause of the prompt.
