under dos I do not have errors
Thank You
What this means is that the Clipper engine is unable to create the
file. This could be for a number of reasons. There may not be enough
disk space. There may not be any more file handles available. There
may already be a file by the same name. There may be some kind of
weird sharing conflict going on with Windows. There may be an illegal
character in the file name you are giving it. There might not be any
more file name slots available in the directory you are creating it
in. (highly unlikely, unless you got thousands of files in the same
directory.)
Process of elimination.

DOS error 5 is "Access Denied". DOS error 51 is "Remote computer not
listening". I wonder if the original poster didn't actually mean 5
(seems most likely), but typed 51.

The original poster has since sent e-mail confirming error #51.
I have never seen this error before, but can imagine if the file being
copied to is on a network share/drive that the computer hosting this
drive may be down. That's my best guess with what little I know.
