Garry,

My initial thoughts were the same as yours that it must be a file in 
use problem. But the four read-only files that caused the original 
problem are related to a firmware update for my cd burner drive and 
are not in use. They are not even installed at this time. The two 
files I used for my test, one in source and one in destination, are 
newly made simple .txt files that have the same name and the same 
size. Both have just the read-only bit checked and neither file is 
in use. I ran the test to exclude files in use as the obvious cause 
for "copied failed" with /oe3 added as you suggested. See the 
results below. I'm stumped, any other ideas?
