Yep! there is a function named 'copyfile' (I think so).
check with the help file. Regarding the second question, you can go for progress bar.
If u have still more doubts, post it.

Yes you can use the CopyFile function

CopyFile [source] [destination]

If you really want to be flash you can create a form, and place an Animated Control on the form (it's in the MS Common Controls library) - then in code;

Animation1.Open "[filename]"
Animation1.Play

There is a file shipped with VB called \GRAPHICS\AVIS\FILECOPY.AVI which is the thing you're looking for.

You can then show this form, start the copy, then close this form after the copy has finished.

If this doesn't make sense let me know.
