Setting flags for SHFileOperation

[JamesM]

Thanks Parksie, that worked!

One more thing, how can I read errors I get back from API call?

Look up the FormatMessage function, and the details pertaining to FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM.

Will this do the trick?

Declare Function FormatMessage Lib "kernel32" Alias "FormatMessageA" _
(ByVal dwFlags As Long, lpSource As Any, ByVal dwMessageId As Long, ByVal dwLanguageId As Long, _
ByVal lpBuffer As String, ByVal nSize As Long, Arguments As Long) As Long
  
Public Const FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER = &H100
Public Const FORMAT_MESSAGE_ARGUMENT_ARRAY = &H2000
Public Const FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_HMODULE = &H800
Public Const FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_STRING = &H400
Public Const FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM = &H1000
Public Const FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS = &H200
Public Const FORMAT_MESSAGE_MAX_WIDTH_MASK = &HFF
Public Const LANG_USER_DEFAULT = &H400&

Function GetLastErrorStr(dwErrCode As Long) As String
  Static sMsgBuf As String * 257, dwLen As Long
  dwLen = FormatMessage(FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM _
  Or FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS Or FORMAT_MESSAGE_MAX_WIDTH_MASK, ByVal 0&, _
  dwErrCode, LANG_USER_DEFAULT, ByVal sMsgBuf, 256&, 0&)
  If dwLen Then GetLastErrorStr = Left$(sMsgBuf, dwLen)
End Function

called:

Dim x
x = GetLastErrorStr(Val(Text1.Text))
Label1.Caption = x
