file copy problem

[hans4]

alright this is my last question of the day =O

anyway so im trying to do a file copy with this code

FileCopy FileName, "C:\Users\Asus Man\programing stuff"

Filename is the variable that carries the filename so thats working but i keep getting the error: "Path/file access error"

If the target path does not exist, it needs to be created.
If the target file has read-only, hidden, and/or system attributes, error.
Be sure to include the new file name in the target path, even if the filename is not changing.

1. Ensure the target path exists. Can use Dir() to do this
2. Test the target file attributes with GetAttr() function
3. Change the target attr if needed: SetAttr(targetfilename, vbNormal)
4. Then try to copy

im not linking it to a file...im copying it to a folder?

All of what I posted still applies. When I mentioned target file, it applies if you are overwriting an existing file.

ok when i do GetAttr i get 16?

16 = vbDirectory. It's telling you the path is a directory. As I mentioned earlier, and probably the reason for the problem, "Be sure to include the new file name in the target path, even if the filename is not changing."
