Anyone know what causes the error "Unable to find the specified file" when using Copy To SharePoint action? It sounds like a permissions problem, but I can't see how that could be the case in my environment.

The copy is from a doc library to another doc library, different site collections, but within the same WebApp.

Hello,


This could be caused by several things, but first did you manually enter a URL, if so I'd check to make sure the destination is correct?

Thanks

Thanks - have already seen that, and believe am using the correct approach. I have found the solution (see my reply to Mike M below).

Hi Mike

 

The destination URL was correct. After a good sleep I quickly found the solution (isn't that often the case). The destination had a mandatory column which didn't exist in the source; and I was specifying Copy Item Metadata in the Copy To SharePoint action. The error "Unable to find the specified file" is rather misleading, but at least I have a solution.
