Let just say that I type in as source for example:

C:\Test

The script would then try to move C:\Test:\Copy , and as you can see this is not a valid folder. So first of all, this makes a whole lot more sense to me:

DirCopy($Stext,$Dtext, 1)

Second, you could, instead of a inputbox, use a FileOpenDialog. I'm not sure about this, just look it up in the helpfile, you might find it useful.

Last, use [autoit ] [/autoit ] tags for your code (leave out the spaces)
