Move\Copy Files with\without override

' false means do not override
' true means override
fso.CopyFile "c:\sourcefile.txt", "c:\destination.txt", False

to check if file exists, do this


If fso.FileExists("c:\myfile.txt") Then
    MsgBox "File Exist"
End If

Thanks for selecting my comment as the answer. But why the grade of "B"? It could have been an A grade since my comment solved your problem directly. Note that a grade A given does not differ from a grade B or C to a questionner. It will not affect your question points value but rather it only affect your grading record. Your grading record will be better if you shows consistent A grading awarding habit.

Please see Tip #11 - Grade quickly and fairly
http://cd-eepages.fateback.com/asking.html

Please explain the reason for the B grade.

Ok, what I am trying to accomplish is to override destination files if they already exist ( would be nice to be able
to use wild-cards too ).

fso.CopyFile will do it but only if destination is not read-only, fso.MoveFile -will not do it at all.

may be I am wrong ?

-Al

wildcards?
Perhaps you try using Shell api
