Hello All,
Dose anybody know a way around the 512 maximum file limit VB/MSDOS places when copying files to the root of a drive? I'm writing a app to backup our servers database to a zip drive and I keep getting an error 67 from the system.
I've tried using VB's FileCopy and the CopyFile API call, but no luck. Is there any other API call I can use to get around this "Design Feature" from MS? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why would you want to put all the backup files into root (c:\)? Just make a temp sub directory and fill it up. BTW, if you are backing up to a zip drive why not just FileCopy it there in the first place?
Hello MrShickadance,
Well, I don't want to put all the files in the root of "C:\" I want to put then in the root of the Zip Drive without having to use a subfolder on the Zip drive. If the system can copy all of the files to a empty zip drive then there has to be a way for me to do this with out having to use a subfolder.
