I am trying to copy an existing file with the same name to a new location but keep the original file open and close the copy. I tried as a script but it does not seem to work for me. Can someone point me in the right direction? This what is have so far:

What is the copy meant for?

There was a routine I found on Augi over the past few weeks that
creates a duplicate of the existing file for archiving prior revisions.

Use the ._SAVE command, not the .SAVEAS command.

Unless you're using LT, in which case you're stuck with the long way round.
