Copy from A Drive to a folder (1 Viewer)

[frankbutcher]

Hi.
I have been searching previous threads and the help file and got half way, but have got stuck.

I want to copy all files from a floppy disk to a drive on a directory on a server. I can check to make sure the directory exists and if not, can make it. All I want to do is copy all the files from the floppy disk drive (A drive) to the direcory I have just created.

I got this from the help in access:-

FileSystemObject.CopyFolder "c:\mydocuments\letters\*", "c:\tempfolder\"

but can't get it to work......is this the way I want to go?

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Frank.

I am surprised that your searching of the forum did not lead to one of the many threads that would have provided the answer you seek. Here is one...

Creating an Xcopy Command

Thansk for the reply.

I looked under copy, and folder copy, but with no luck. I did not realise it was xcopy I required.

Once again, thanks.

Frank.

"Copy Folder" was the key search word, not "XCopy". There are a lot of threads on the subject, I have been here long enough to remember which ones I worked with.
