Until Windows 2000 ships, you will need to manually distribute those components - which is not really that big a deal. If you are using VFP 6 - make sure you get the latest setup wizard. This wizard - like VB - will automatically pull in the referenced components.

>Wow! Where to start? Downloaded the WSH and loaded it on my PC. Inserted your example code and it WORKED. Do not mean to sound surprised, but I thought surely there must be an something to add to the project. How or why it worked, I have no idea. Read (ok skimmed), most everything on the MSN scriping site but do not have a good understanding of all its functions and how it can be used in VFP.

>1) obviously I want to distribute my app. Does WSH need to be installed on my clients machines? If not, what does need to be distributed with my app to make this work?

>2) do you know where I can find some more info (maybe simplier and more VFP related than on MSN) on WSN?

>3) where can I find some more info on FileSystemObject and CopyFolder?

>>Hi Brenda,

>>You can do this using Windows Scripting Host:
>
>>fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
>>FSO.CopyFolder("c:\folder1", "d:\folder1bak")
>
>>WSH is available for download for Windows 95, and is built into Windows 98 and NT. You'll find it along with more extensive information at Microsoft's Sripting Technologies site.

>>>Having trouble with the syntax. What to make a backup copy of folder1, something like folder1bak. If folder1bak exist, I will do nothing. Want to create folder1bak and then copy all the files from folder1 to folder1bak.
