When the operator chooses "Set-up" the report goes to the 10122X Set-up folder like it's supposed to.

It also goes to the filePath = "T:\DMR\CMM Data\10122X Op-10_Rev_A\"+ getRecordHead("planid")+ getRecordHead("partnbinc")+".txt". I don't want it to go there

It's because you only copy the file to another location. You dont move it, or delete the old one.

//Pre-settings
setRecordHead("partid",inquireList("Are you running a Set-up Part or full Production?","Set-up","Production"))

//Post-settings
filePath = "T:\DMR\CMM Data\10122X Op-10_Rev_A\"+ getRecordHead("planid")+ getRecordHead("partnbinc")+".txt"
if fileExists(filePath) // if it can't find the file then it will not error out.
	if getRecordHead("partid") == "Set-up"
		copyFile(filePath,"T:\DMR\CMM Data\10122X_Set-up\theresults.txt")
		deleteFile(filePath)
	endif
endif

I took the liberty to clean it up.
A good practice is to not introduce variables unless necessary. "partid" is is already stored in "record head".

selectCase is not really necessary either. It only slows it up.

Your fileExist() did't do anything. It would error out anyway. This because you stop the if-statement pre-mature.

Hope it helps a bit.

Thanks Eric! I'm still learning.
