I guess all of you know these two simple API functions. I've used them in a
software that i'm building through the 2.1 version of euphoria, well when i use
simple paths they work perfectly ( for simple path i mean like "c:\sourcedir" or
"c:\destdir" for example )
but when i put complex paths like ones of where is retrieved the startup folder
or the recent folder
that usually are retrieved throguh the api functions dedicated the registry (
es.: regopenkey ) and that appears like "c:\windows...\recent" then these two
functions when i put such complex strings fails ofeten giving a code that means
that the path can't be retrieved but sometimes work to solve the problem i used a
cycle wail that after the copyfile or the movefile use the GetLastError function
and when it's ok exit the cycle but seems not a good programming method. Did you
experience such problems using complex paths in such api functions ? Any advices
for me ?

Thank you veyr much...
