CopyFolder
 

I have looked at the copyfolder method, but cant seem to
get it to work, can anyone tell me the code to copy
c:\test1\*.* and all its sub folders to c:\test2\*.* ?

Many thanks in advance.

This is a good newsgroup BTW.

CopyFolder
 

Your second argument should be

c:\test2\

without the wildcards.

See the help on filecopy - it is pretty clear on what is required and what
the behavior is.

im not sure exactly what FileSystemObject is and if I am
using it correctly....

An additional comment:

If you are using a UNC path with copyfolder, see this article:

Sub tester2()
Dim fs As Object
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.CopyFolder "c:\Test1", "c:\Test2"

End Sub


Worked for me in Excel 2000 on Windows 2K
