    guys Confusion sorry

    I mean FS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") then loop to do FS.COPYFILE if file.name not in 2nd folder. Does this make sense ??

    Oh I understand perfectly. You have two folders. You want to copy any file that is in the first folder, but not already in the second folder, TO the second folder.

    I repeat our good friend ChrisE, "what have you tried sofar[sic]?"
