It used to be so easy (DOS)

I am trying to make an app that will allow a user to input their user name, select a directory on their local hard drive, and do a sort of Xcopy (a la DOS) where it would confirm if the file is to be overwritten if it exists.

I do now know how to copy directory.
I do not know how to select the contents of a directory.
I do not event know how to copy the files, when there is more than one.

The other problem I have is the program will make a directory if the user name is new. If I run the program the network drive would have k:\backup\shook1s. I can create the directory, but if I run the code again it spits it out.

I know these questions sound basic...

but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

As there is no code to go by and you have not indicated an error code, this might be an overly stupid reply but that's neither here nor there.

Code:

---

Do you have and if statement involved
If dir("k:\backup\shook1s.ext") <> "" then
mkdir ("K:\backup\shook1s.ext")
  bla
    bla
      bla
else
    bla bla bal
End If
