moving files and folders in access

[jay]

Is there a way to make a button in the switchboard to
copy a folder from a zip drive to the harddrive?
I don't know how to move files and folders around using
the switchboard in access 2002 and I would like to know
how to do this.

There's a built-in FileCopy statement:

FileCopy source, destination

Ok I will try it.

Will this also do a folder too or is there another
method for copying a folder to another location?
If I put let's say c:\myfolder in the source and
c:\therefolder in the destination, will it give me
c:\therefolder\myfolder?

No, it won't.

You could use the CopyFile API call (see, for instance, what Randy Birch has
at http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/fileapi/copyfile.htm ) or I believe you can
use FSO (File System Object: sorry I don't have an example handy)
