COPYING AND RUNNING STUFF

[cptcerc]

I got away from VB for a while, and I can't remember how to copy a file from place to place in a VB program. Also I can't remember how to run an independent program in a vb program. Can anyone help?

Hi CERC!
Welcome back!

This is the command to copy a file.

Filecopy sourcefile, destinationfile

eg,

Filecopy "c:\test1.txt", "c:\test2.txt"

I dont fully understand the second question, anyway I 'll try.

To run an app, use the Shell command with the pathname.

for eg,

Shell "c:\windows\calc.exe", vbNormalFocus

Hope this is what u mean,
Jebs.
