You could just use the CopyFolder method from the Scripting.FileSystemObject. I prefer using the Shell.Application because it lets me know the progress.

George,

It gives me an error message: ActiveX component can't create object 'Shell.Application' :( How can I install Shell Application on my machine?
Sorry for these questions.

Thanks in advance.
