TITLE:   Copying Master Document Results in Source/Destination Message
PRODUCT: Ami Pro 2.0
DATE:    05-Nov-1991

PROBLEM:

Copying a master document source file results in the message "Source and
destination files are the same".

SOLUTION:

The above error results from specifying Yes to the message "FILENAME is a
master document.  Would you like to also copy the included files" when the
included files would be copied to their original location.  For example, the
file BOOK.SAM in C:\AMIPRO\DOCS has the files CHAP1.SAM and CHAP2.SAM also
located in C:\AMIPRO\DOCS as included master document files.  You use File
Management to copy BOOK.SAM to another file name in C:\AMIPRO\DOCS, and
specify Yes to copy the included master document files.  The program detects
that it would be copying the included files to their original location (for
example, copy C:\AMIPRO\DOCS\CHAP1.SAM to C:\AMIPRO\DOCS\CHAP1.SAM which would
be copying a file onto itself and is not an allowable DOS function).

To avoid the above message, specify No to "FILENAME is a master document.
Would you like to also copy the included files".  Since the included files
already exist in the original location, there is no need to copy over them.
NOTE:  If the included master document files are being copied to another
directory where the included files are already located, but the directory is
not the original location of the included files, a message will appear telling
you the file(s) exist and asking if the file(s) should be overwritten.  For
example BOOK.SAM is located in C:\AMIPRO\DOCS and BOOK.SAM's included files
are located in C:\AMIPRO\DOCS.  Copies of the included files are already
located in C:\AMIPRO\CHAP and file management is being used to copy BOOK.SAM
to C:\AMIPRO\CHAP.  A message will appear for each included file asking if you
want to overwrite the copy that already exists in C:\AMIPRO\CHAP.
