Copying files from A: to C:

[Mark2]

Can anyone tell me the code to copy files from drive A: to drive C: on the click of a button. (VB V.5)

Thanks a lot.

P.S. Finding it difficult to get FileCopy to work!

Make sure you leave out the paranthesis

FileCopy "A:\whatever.txt, "C:\Test\whatever.txt"

Just pasted code in and altered file names, got the following error message :

"Expected list seperator or )" - The cursor appeared avoer the C:

Any info to fix this?

Thanks

Yeah, dont use the paranthesis. Just:

FileCopy "C:\Test.txt", "C:\Testing\Test.txt"

I left the parenthesis out, altered the filenames but this time the error message is :

"Invalid Outside Procedure" - This appears over my filename which is "A:\Folder1\Item1.XLS"

How can I fix this error

this isn't just free floating code, right? you need to have it inside a Sub or Function...
