Makes a copy of a file.

Syntax

FileCopy source , destination

Elements

source

A string expression containing the name of the file you want to copy. The expression can optionally include a path.

A string expression containing the name to be given to the copy. The expression can optionally include a path.

The file being copied must not be open.

The source and destination strings cannot include wildcard characters.

If destination names a file that already exists, the copy replaces the existing file with that name. To prevent this, you can use the Dir function to determine whether a file with the name destination already exists. Or, use the SetFileAttr statement to set the read-only attribute for the file.
