I just tested it, and it copied a read-only file just fine (as I expected).
Sure there is not some other problem in the code?

I'm using FileCopy to copy a number of files off the servers onto my C:
drive. Everything works fine except for the one file that is read-only.
Any
way to persuade FileCopy to copy over that file even if it is a read-only?
