hi Stefi,
i used the code from my code collection, where i copied some
codefragment with Dir$ a while ago.
so, I`m not sure if this is correct:
you can write
Dim strText As String
also
Dim strText$

therefore Dir$ forces Dir to return a String, but it does it without
the $ as well.
thank you for making me thinking about it (and changing my code
collection ;)

Thanks Stefan, fso.CopyFile is the very method I was looking for, it works!
By the way, what does the $ sign means in Dir$ function? XL Help doesn't
mention this format.
