CopyFile... Directory?

[ronnyjljr]

Maybe I am approaching this wrong, we'll see.

I am trying to duplicate a directory, of course I have renamed the new directory. Now, I tried using the CopyFile method and it fails everytime, so I decided to loop through the directorycontents. The CopyFile again, fails everytime.

What gives?

Basically just doing CopyFile(Original,Duplicate,False);
Where Original and Duplicate are different names.

-Thanks,
Ron

Is your Original and duplicate the full path names?

Check by stepping through to the Copy statement and check the file names??

I use

CopyFile ( (LPCTSTR) file2Copy, (LPCTSTR) newLocation, false )

and it works fine for me??? So need more info before I can help any?? i.e. does it simply not copy the file. Have you tried using GetLastError()???

Thanks Shetland!

It turns out it did need the full path names.
I thought I had them in but apparently not.
