    Copying a file

    If I want to write a program that copies an already existing file on PC's Hardrive and save it to a folder. The folder also should be automatically created. How is this possible? Please help!!!

    I believe the functions you'll need are:
    mkdir
    filecopy

    you dont have to use fso's (even though i love them!) to see if a directory exists, you can use the Dir$ function

    fso = FileSystemObject

    dll = Microsoft Scripting Runtime

    easy of use = doddle
