Hi,

I'm trying to use the CopyFolder method from the FileSystemObject. I want to back up some directories (and all their contents). Since VFP 7 doesn't have an easy way to do this I decided to try to use the FileSystemObject.

I think the reason why I'm having problems is because I'm trying to copy directories on another computer on our network.

Just to make sure I could get it to work I tried:

loFs = CREATEOBJECT("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
loFs.CopyFolder("c:\ctemp", "c:\ctemp2")

And it worked. But when I tried the following:

lcFrom = "\\webtest\D\webclnt\"
lcTo = "\\webtest\D\WebClntBakOct72004\"

loFs = CREATEOBJECT("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

SCAN
  lcClnt = ALLTRIM(Iwc_ID)
  lcClntWD = lcFrom + lcClnt + "\IMIRMWeb\IMWebDocs\"
  lcClntCSS = lcFrom + "html\" + lcClnt + "\images\"
  lcClntBak = lcTo + lcClnt + "\"
  
  IF DIRECTORY(lcClntWD)
    MD &lcClntBak  
    
    MESSAGEBOX(DIRECTORY(lcClntWD))  && both messageboxes message ".T."
    MESSAGEBOX(DIRECTORY(lcClntBak))
        
    loFs.CopyFolder(lcClntWD, lcClntBak)    
  ENDIF 
    
  EXIT && temporary, I just want to run it on the first one until it works
ENDSCAN 

it failed. I get the error "OLE Error code 0x800a004c: Unknown COM Status Code." With CopyFolder can you use paths like "\\webtest\D\webclnt\"? Or does it have to be mapped? Any other way to do this?

Thanks,
Chris
