Very Very Very Urgent...File Movements

[venkatraman_r]

Hi,

I need to move a file from one location to another location, through vb. If the file already exists in the target location, I should not get the windows message saying "Overwrite - Yes or no".

Hope i could make it clear. Is it possible to suppress this message and overwrite the file without asking?

Please help me with some codes.

Venkat.

I am not sure with VB6, but with VBA you can override the alert message by writing application.display.alert =false.

However, as the default is = true, you need to reset it programatically right after the file replace, otherwise you will not see any other alerts.

VBA does not reset that property automatically.

This is from the VB Help Files.


Dim SourceFile, DestinationFile
SourceFile = "SRCFILE" ' Define source file name.
DestinationFile = "DESTFILE" ' Define target file name.
FileCopy SourceFile, DestinationFile ' Copy source to target.
