    Create a simple VB Script to copy files from Server to PC?

    How would I create a simple vb script with a GUI interface to copy
    files from a fileserver to a PC.

    for example, I would have a form with Radio Buttons or Check Boxes

    box1 - copy prefs
    box2 - copy keyboard shortcuts
    box3 - copy workspace
    and a RUN button

    if box1 is selected:
    copy \\server\share\ prefs to c:\documents and settings\%usern ame%
    \myprogram\pref s
    and etc. etc. for the other boxes.

      You want a VBScript? Or, VB .NET?

      They are two VERY different things.

          Well I have VB 2008, express edition. I would assume vb.net
          What is the diff?

              Jason,

              The difference is that a script is a something like a .Bat file (in this
              case a text file with the extention .vb), you can not create those with VB
              2008 Express edition,

                  Oh yes, that is what I mean, I want to create a GUI little app and not
                  a script I guess.

                      Is the GUI created ? I'm not sure what is the exact step that causes a
                      problem. If you are stuck at the very beginning it's likely best to Google
                      for a tutorial before asking specific questions...

                              VBScript is an interpreted late-bound language that relies on COM.

                              VB .NET is an early-bound compiled language that does not rely on COM.
