Oops you could be correct. All I did was sit on the /filepro/iidetail
directory and right and select copy. However after I pasted it in C:\filepro
I could open it and all the files seem to be there including map, data, and
key

I don't understand the actual problem you're stating here... but my guess is
that when you say "copy the file ..." back to the filePro directory, you may
be doing just that copying the "file". Which means you are getting the
actual directory called "lidetail" put into the directory filepro, but you
are not getting any of its subfolders (or files). In other words, you are
not using the switch to copy (or xcopy /s) that copies all the
subidrectories and files below the file you are "copying". FilePro would see
the directory name but not be able to open the map file... and therefore
nothing else either.
If you are dragging and dropping the folder... that should copy all
sub-stuff, too.
Again, this is all just a guess.
