CopyFile API problem

[MichaelC2468]

I just ran into a problem using the copyfile api. I was trying to copy a file from one server to another using the copyfile api and it kept failing to copy the file. I couldn't figure out why it was failing. After about thirty minutes of going through my code I tried to manually copy the file and got an error stating there wasn't enough disc space. Is there a way of trapping for this or any other error that may occur while using this api?

I know that I can verify the file was copied by doing something like this:

dim RET as Long
 
RET = copyfile(sourcefile, destfile,0)
 
IF RET > 0 then
    msgbox "file copied"
else
    msgbox "file not copied"
END IF

But, if it fails I have no way of knowing why.

After your call to CopyFile, use the FormatMessage API to get the reason for the failure. Just pass in Err.LastDllError for the error number...
