crzftx Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 What script did you tried? DirCopy("C:\My Documents", "C:\Backups\MyDocs", 1) this should work. EDIT: Follow rules from sticky post ok sorry. missed the rules. I expect it to make a directory called C:\Backups\MyDocs" . There is no directory created. I am using v3.2.8.0. The snippet looks exactly like yours. DirCopy("C:\My Documents", "C:\Backups\MyDocs", 1) This code, completely alone, does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOSoft Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 ok sorry. missed the rules. I expect it to make a directory called C:\Backups\MyDocs" . There is no directory created. I am using v3.2.8.0. The snippet looks exactly like yours. DirCopy("C:\My Documents", "C:\Backups\MyDocs", 1) This code, completely alone, does nothing.It should work fine with DirCopy(@MyDocumentsDir, "C:\Backups|MyDocs" 1) Because you probably don't have a C:\My Documents folder. That Help file example is from the old Win 98 days and really should be updated. George Question about decompiling code?

It's still good info for others. ALSO............. It's best to check if a folder (or file) exists before you attempt to copy it. If FileExists("C:\My Documents") Then DirCopy("C:\My Documents", C:\Backups\My Docs") Else MsgBox ( 262144, 'File Error', 'The source directory does not exist') EndIf George Question about decompiling code?
