Try the code below:

Option Explicit

Private Sub CopyFile()
Dim strSourcePath As String
Dim strSourceFile As String
Dim strTargetPath As String
Dim strTargetFile As String
Dim oFS As Object
Dim oFile As Object

strSourcePath = "C:\temp\"
strSourceFile = "myfile.ecw"
strTargetPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\"
strTargetFile = Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name,
InStr(ActiveWorkbook.Name, ".") - 1) & ".ecw"
Set oFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFile = oFS.Copy(strTargetPath & strTargetFile)
Set oFile = Nothing
Set oFS = Nothing
End Sub

I didn't know about the "Name" command in VBA.

Neat solution.

Hi 2007-user,
try this one, maybe solve ur problem:

Sub CopyFile()
Dim currentfilename

currentfilename = mid(ActiveWorkbook.Name,1,len(ActiveWorkbook)-4)
' _
'if your ActiveWorkbook is has path, to prevent doubled file extention.
'currentfilename =ActiveWorkbook 'if ur ActiveWorkbook not saved

FileCopy "E:\ENGINEERING FOLDER\001-Ready\Template.ecw", _
"E:\ENGINEERING FOLDER\001-Ready\" & currentfilename & ".ecw"

End Sub

Regards,

Halim
