How to copy entire folder from one disk drive to another.

[Dave2012k]

Hello friends!
I am developing a module to backup data from harddrive to an external device. This module let the user to select data from multiple directories. Like I explained in the subject line how do I copy entire folder from one disk drive to another with out specifiying what files to copy? Example copy c:\docdir to H:\docdir, where docdir may contain more then 100 different file types. FileCopy function doesn't copy a directory.
Thanks in Advance!
Dave

Thanks Matt for the help.
I get an error "illegal datatype Shfileoopstruct" when I try to declare Function long SHFileOperation(ref SHFILEOPSTRUCT lpFileOp ) Library "shell32.dll" Alias for "SHFileOperationA" in the global external functions. Please let me know why do I get this error.
Thanks,
Dave

Try the Unicode version of the SHFileOperation ?
