Hey -

You can also try it.

This code will copy a file, and of the same time, will rename a file.

FileCopy "C:\<SourceFolder>SourceFile.txt","C:<DestinationFolder>\DestinationFile.txt"

Thanks for reply.
Can you explain it to me. plzzzz

Set f = fso.CopyFile("D :\Ali.txt", "D:\Ali\Ali.txt ")
and the error is
Expected Function or Variable

That's because you're trying to assign something to a variable (f). Don't do that, just execute the CopyFile. Leave off the "Set f =".

That probably means you're putting parentheses around the parameters. If you code it exactly as shown, I think it will work.

What is there to explain? That's the whole of it. The Name x As y command renames a file (and if necessary, moves it to a different folder). Look it up in your VB doco.

It's important to note, though, that this doesn't copy - it moves. Big difference!

OK
I try it and it works properly.
I am thakfull to you for this.
Now only one question more.
When using statement
copyfile is there no need of fso or yes.

Thanks a lot again

Glad to see you got it working. :)

As for the fso question, I don't know. My guess would be that you do need the fso reference, as FileCopy is a method of the fso. However, my general advice is - "if in doubt, try it out".
