The Scripting.FileSystemObject can copy folders and sub-folders. Take a look at the third article in the series on the Windows Script Host written by Ed Rauh and myself. It appeared in the VFUG newsletter last November, and is available on-line at www.vfug.org.

As a side now the Shell.Application object is capable of displaying a progress dialog. I wrote an article on that object in one of the VFUG newsletters that appeared earlier that year.
