I was hoping there was an easier way to avoid the Shell function, if for no other reason, to keep everything neetly inside a single executable. Anyway, thank you for the assistance. It is much appreciated. Karl

strongm, This did point me in a good direction. In the end, I put a copy of robocopy in the same folder as the executable and created a command line with the Shell function. It was just easier than stepping thru each folder and file, reading everything's descriptors, and then setting the...

I am not trying to get around it, but preserve it. I am trying to copy a folder and all of it's contents, under a log-in with administrator privelages. A login with full rights to the folder, so I am not trying to get around permissions, only copy a folder via VB and the permissions on the...

Hello all, Does anyone know of a way to use VB6 to copy a folder, all of the contents, including subfolders and their contents, and keep the ACLS the same as they are on the source folder? The source and destinations are on the same drive. Aparently the FSO CopyFolder does not copy the...

The date does update to the created date of the document, but I cannot edit it if I actually want to use a different date without unprotecting the form, which we do not want. In most casees we will use the create date, but there will be instances where they want to put a different date on the...

Either I am missing something, or the idea that the form is locked/protected is being ignored. When I put a CREATEDATE field in, and then protect the form, I cannot edit the date without unprotecting the form. So what am I missing? How does the CREATEDATE field become something I can tab to...

Would a mail merge work for this, or is this for an "as requested" basis?

Yes this is a .dot template. We want to lock the form so the user can tab thru the form. As soon as I lock the form, I cannot change the date unless it is a form field. If I make it a text form field and set the type to current date, I cannot edit the date. If I set the type to date, I can...

Sorry, Gerry, I guess I worded this poorly. I have a template which is form, and want to have a field in it which will do the following: ~ When the form is first opened as a new document (cloned as a new document) the field provides the current date, formated as Month Day, Year. ~ The operator...

Is there a way to create a field in a form that will display the document's creation date by default, but allow the user to change the date manually? I also want the date to stay as it is. A field that uses the CREATEDATE code but places plane text formatted as a date would be the ultimate...

Hello All, While trying to create a program that quickly listed many files in a folder (as fast as Windows Explorer) I came across the idea of using a WebBrowser control to list files on a hard drive. (And I thank this forum for that.) This looks just like the list in Explorer, and has some...
