I used LaunchAppAndWait() for this, however, the program does not aware that xcopy is finished even after all files are copied, until the user press "Esc". This problem only occurs when using xcopy, it can waits and works again in correct timing when i test with other program (e.g. pkzip)

Hi Sergey,

Ohoh seems ok now, i used

do while CopiedFile < TotalFile
   CopiedFile=adir(TempArr, "C:\Test\*.*")
enddo 

to pause the program until copying is finished, dunno if this is slowing down the process or what, at least it can wait a bit now. what do you think?
