    Exclamation Error with CopyFile

    What I'm trying 2 do is copy an autoCAD drawing from one dir 2 another. Eventually, I will need the files 2 be d/l from a website I'm working on in HTML/VBScript. 4 now, though, when I try the "CopyFile(source, destination)" line, I get an "expected =" error. Then if I try "lngReturnValue = CopyFile(s, d)" I get a "expected function or variable" error. What's the deal? It's driving me crazy b/c I know I'm close. Thanx 4 all your help!

    Well when calling a function as a sub (or a sub itself) then you need to do this:

    CopyFile Source, Destination
    -NOT-
    CopyFile(Source, Destination)

    you only use () when doing something like
    Code:
    strText=InputBox("What text?")
