About 10 files won't copy each time I run the program (manually or scheduled) and the log says to make sure they aren't in use.

However, there is no problem when I copy them in Explorer or from a Command Prompt.

I need these files to sync up - why won't they?

They are ACT database files. Nobody is logged into ACT when they are trying to sync though.

What's VSS?

Here's the actual message from the log (it's the same for all the files in question):

2007-12-24 21:14:10 : Copying file \\192.168.1.252\public\actdata\New Working.dbf <to> C:\Backup\actdata\New Working.dbf (15.36MB) [Can not open "\\192.168.1.252\public\actdata\New Working.dbf". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.] [ERROR].

VSS functionality allows copying files that are in use.

thanks

That won't work. According to the link you sent:

"The file being copied must be on a local disk, not on a network disk."

You are right! If you copy the files using Windows Explorer, does it work?
Try also the Viceversa option in the profile settings: Try to copy files that are in use by other applications , it is in the advanced settings.

thanks

As I said in my original post, Explorer copies them with no problem.

I will check the advanced settings option and get back to you.

The advanced option "try to copy" worked.

Thanks!
