Hi,

Here some useful links to work with windows scripting stuff:

Shell object:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/sdkdoc/shellcc/shell/Objects/Shell/Shell.htm#Shell

Windows Scripting Host
http://wsh.glazier.co.nz/default.asp

Examples of scripts, including file management
http://cwashington.netreach.net/script_repository/query.asp

Written below is a piece of VB code to copy a file.
This code cam be easily rewritten in VFP. It displays Windows Copy box. This is an extract of code originally posted by someone else on cwashington's Web site. So it is not mine.

Set winShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
winShell.NameSpace("c:\Destination folder\").CopyHere "L:\Source folder\MyFile.dbf"
Set winShell = Nothing

HTH,
