Copy file using VBA

This must be easy, but in my case just don't work.
How to copy file from one folder to another using VBA ?
Thanks

Can you post what you tried? The generic method is:

Dim fs As Object
Dim oldPath As String, newPath As String
oldPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents" 'Folder file is located in
newPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\Misc" 'Folder to copy file to
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.CopyFile oldPath & "\" & "Query1.xls", newPath & "\" & "Query1.xls" 'This file was an .xls file
Set fs = Nothing

I tried this but it did not worked. Your advise helped and the file is copied at last, thank you.
Dim STA As String
Dim GDE As String
STA = "c:\dejan\racuni.dbf"
GDE = "c:\proba\"
FileSystemObject.CopyFile STA, GDE

You were close with your code but it would have been written with FileCopy:

FileCopy "oldPath + Name" , "newPath + name"

FileCopy STA, GDE

I know this thread is a little outdated but I have used code similar to that shown above and my problem is that everything is copied...including the last date modified attribute. Is there any way to change this to the current date?

Thanks in advance,

I have some code which is copying a file from a local hard drive to a share drive; it then uploads that share-drive copy to a LIMS system. I need to make sure that the filecopy is complete prior to continuing with the rest of the code,; otherwise it will crash if it tries to upload a file that does not exist (or is incomplete). I wan to use a "FileExists" function I've created, but I'm not sure if that will work since I don't know if the filename will be created at the front end of the filecopy. If the filename is created, and it is still in the process fo copying when it checks to see if filename exists, will it find the name, even though the copying is not complete? If so, I haven't accomplished anything.

FileCopy "C:\TEST1\X.TXT", "C:\TEST2\Y.TXT"

Hi guys,

I am using same code to overwrite a file but sometimes the destination files is getting lost...some how the code is deleting it.

Do you have any idea, what could be happening?

I appreciate your help
