Default Can you use FileCopy to convert a file as well?

Hello all!

I have an XML Spreadsheet file saved on a network directory, that on a
weekly basis, I need to copy it to another directory and save it as an excel
spreadsheet. I was wondering if there was a way to use filecopy method to
convert the file?

FileCopy "Oldfile.xml" , "Newfile.xls" Doesnt work unfortuneatly =(

Thanks FSt1, that is what I am doing now =)

The problem is, there are 5 files I am opening and saving as to different
locations on a network, where all 5 files are over 10Mb in size. As you can
imagine, it takes a considerable time more to open them and save them than it
does to do a filecopy =(.

I will keep playing around and see if I can come up with something ;)
