send event to win xp command prompt

[step wright]

I found a very useful event script example on this forum for creating a folder, which i have tested and works wonderfully. I though i would go one step further and get it to copy a file from my desktop to the c drive. The event script text is as follows:

cmd k copy "C:Documents and Settingssteve-wDesktopsource.fp7" C:source.fp7

If i go directly to the command prompt and copy the above less cmd k it works. This seems to prove that there is no weird syntax. However, it will not run it through the event script.

Does the event script in filemaker prevent certain dos commands from working or am i missing something obvious.

i've solved it. I had put cmd c copy and should have put cmd /c copy.
