FileCopy Error 52 Bad FileName or number

Hi

I'm trying to copy a file from a source to a destination, but whatever I
try, I get error 52 bad filename or Number. I use Filecopy and a generated
string as destination, here's an example:

Source = "D:\Projecten\Shell\SPDC\EDMS\test.txt"
Destination = "D:\Projecten\Shell\SPDC\EDMS\test\DEE\DMP\CodeB\test.txt"

FileCopy SourceFile, DestinationFile


Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?


Thanks

Hi Marco,

You haven't defined the SourceFile or DestinationFile parameters that you
use for the FileCopy statement.

Try the following:

SourceFile = "D:\Projecten\Shell\SPDC\EDMS\test.txt"
DestinationFile = "D:\Projecten\Shell\SPDC\EDMS\test\DEE\DMP\CodeB\test.txt"

FileCopy SourceFile, DestinationFile

I did difine the SourceFile and DestinationFile in the two lines above the
FileCopy line

Hi Marco,

Was the sample code you provided an exact copy? In the code you provided

Source = "D:\Projecten\Shell\SPDC\EDMS\test.txt"
Destination = "D:\Projecten\Shell\SPDC\EDMS\test\DEE\DMP\CodeB\test.txt"
FileCopy SourceFile, DestinationFile

you defined Source and Destination, but not SourceFile and DestinationFile.

If the sample code you provided is not an exact copy, can you provide one?

Hi Dave,

I misspelled my code in the example, it should be like this:

SourceFile = "D:\Projecten\Shell\SPDC\EDMS\test.txt"
DestinationFile = "D:\Projecten\Shell\SPDC\EDMS\test\DEE\DMP\CodeB\test.txt"
FileCopy SourceFile, DestinationFile
