copy with no Delete---

Where could one find a Copy with a NoDelete option ?
Thanks

I would say that any intrinsic Windows Copy command would do the trick as opposed to a command like Move, which would delete the old after it copied.

Copy/noDelete *.*

What are you referring to? :confused:

I would like to copy/NoDelete to another folder. For example, Copy/NoDelete cell phone photos to folder on XP-disk drive...only files (photos) that no not exsist.
Is there a copy program that will do this?

Ah ok! Although, I am still confusing about what you mean by "NoDelete", it sound like after you copy the data from the phone it deletes it doing a cut rather than a copy is that correct?

Copy the files, but if the file already exsist, do not copy it
Currently, I have to click on No 100 times...do not copy file.

I have made a program that might help! Do you have VB6 to compile the code or do you want me to upload the exe and send you the link?

I have a VB6 compiler

This might work for you.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  VBCopyFiles source, destination

I was using a form to test the code but it could probably work in a module using sub Main.

For the SubMain just put:

vb Code:

VBCopyFiles source, destination

Instead of using the CommandButton
