Copy a file from c: to a:

[BJ]

I am trying to write a program that backs up a database from the c drive to the a drive. I want to use a command like the xcopy dos command.

Such as copy c:\database to a:\database

Thanks

The FileCopy statement syntax has these named arguments:

filename. The destination may include directory and drive.

Remarks
If you try to use the FileCopy statement on a currently open file, an error occurs.
