Take a look at this thread which shows how to copy all files in a folder and put them in another.

the code didn't work i have vb5 without any servie packs so is there any other volunters

well..... you can in a way I think...

just leave the error, and when you give it to other people, just supply the vb6 runtime files, and you'll be allset

I never tried it, but is should work

Code:

---


'copy or save all files in one folder to a different directory

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    Dim SourcePath As String, DestPath As String
    Dim stFile As String
   
    'folder I want to copy the files form
    SourcePath = "C:\my documents\"
    DestPath = "c:\MyNewFolder\"
   
    'all files in the folder C:\my documents
    stFile = Dir$(SourcePath & "*.*")
   
    Do While stFile <> ""
   
    'copy all the files in c:\my documents to C:\MyNewFolder
      FileCopy SourcePath & stFile, DestPath & "\" & stFile
   
      stFile = Dir
    Loop

End Sub
