Invalid outside procedure

[mtairhead]

I'm using this code:

Option Compare Database
CopyFile "C:\My Documents\Test.html", "C:\My Documents\AJICO\Test.html"
End Sub

Why do I get this error:?

Compile error: Invalid Outside Procedure

mt,

The CopyFile code doesn't belong to any routine. It is an orphan.

Option Compare Database

' There is no Subroutine name here !!!

CopyFile "C:\My Documents\Test.html", "C:\My Documents\AJICO\Test.html"
End Sub

Thanks

Thanks, I'll try that out when I get back.

A problem that I may have further down the road: I need to be able to replace that first path (C:\My Documents\Test.html) with a web address. I've been reading a lot of the threads on this site concerning this, and they have either gone over my head, or not really provided a solution.

Will it work? I remember I did this a long time ago in Access 97, and it did not. It seems to me that this feature is only available in the dev. edition. I now have Access 2000. Is the feature available?

Thanks
