    What am I doing wrong??

    Here is what I am trying:

    My.Computer.Fil eSystem.CopyFil e("\\server\all \sets\!!!!!PREF S
    \Application Data", _
    "C:\Documen ts and Settings\" & Environment.Use rName & "\Applicati on
    Data\Adobe", True)
    MessageBox.Show ("Done Resetting Application Data, Press OK to
    Continue and reset Local Settings data", "Backup in progress...",
    MessageBoxButto ns.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon. Information)
    My.Computer.Fil eSystem.CopyFil e("\\server\all \sets\!!!!!PREF S
    \Local Settings", _
    "C:\Documen ts and Settings\" & Environment.Use rName & "\Local Settings
    \Application Data\Adobe", True)
    MessageBox.Show ("Done Resetting Local Settings data, Press OK
    to Continue.", "Backup in progress...", MessageBoxButto ns.OK,
    MessageBoxIcon. Information)

    I get the error that: \\server\all\se ts\Application Data is not
    found, but it is there, and inside that folder I want to copy a folder
    to c:\doc and set\user\applic ation data\adobe

    Also, will this work like this, one statement after another to do two
    things?

    thanks

          It appears that "\\server\all\s ets\Application Data" is a folder. The
          message is probably saying something like "File does not exist :
          \\server\all\se ts\Application Data, which is correct, as there is no such
          file.

          You can't use FileSystem.Copy File to copy a folder - use CopyDirectory
          instead.

          Extending statements over multiple lines works, but can be avoided by
          setting a variable to the folder/file names first and using the variable
          instead of a literal in the statement. This makes your code much easier to
          develop and test. You can alsways get rid of the extra variables after
          everything is working OK.

                  The code in your message has extra stuff "!!!!!PREFS " in the path. I'm
                  trying to
                  clarify whether you pasted wrong, or whether you overlooked the obvious.
