RUNNING XXCOPY.EXE

I am using the xxcopy.exe program to backup and restore files within my
program. All works well as long as I keep the complied program running in
any folder in the computer. My problem is that I also run the program from a
flash drive. When I run the program in the flash drive in a different
computer, the xxcopy.exe command does not work. It does pop up the DOS
window but just blinks it on and off. I am using the run command like:
RUN XXCOPY &FROM &TO /E/H/Y/YY
I have tried putting the COMMAND.COM in the flash drive directory but that
does not work. Anyone have a better way or any ideas of my problem?? Oh yes
the &from and &to are variables that I get from my database.
