This is my first entry into the forum, so go easy if i've made a basic mistake. I'm trying to copy files from a cd to a directory on a client. I'm using 'FileCopy' to do this but it only seems to copy one of the files instead of the multiple files which are in the source directory, heres the section i'm having the issue with.

SplashTextOn ( "Apps Move", "Copying Application Forms. Please wait, this may take some time")

FileCopy ("D:\forms\apps\*.*", "c:\trigold\apps\",1)

FileSetAttrib("C:\trigold\apps", "-R")

The c:\trigold\apps directory already exists on the client. Apologies in advance if this is just a newbie mistake, i've checked it in the help file and it seems okay?

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

FileCopy() has the limitation that when it encounters an error the copy process will stop. Could it be that a file to be copied already exists in the target directory and is in use or read-only ? Edited by JdeB

Quality. I've just deleted the contents from the target folder and it worked fine. Most lilkely a 'in use' issue. Will have to do some investigating.

Thanks Muchly

I've just set a fileattrib to set all the files in the target directory to be writeable (which they should be anyway). This has sorted it. Its working everytime now.

Cheers lads.
