I am wanting to use VFP6 to copy files and subfolders to my local
drive from the network drive. I am creating a folder using the date
function on my local drive and using the copy file feature works but
it isnt' copying any of the subfolders.

I am doing this
COPY FILE z:\directory1\*.* TO "C:\" + DMY(DATE())+ "DIRECTORY2"


This works when copying the files from one folder to the next but it
won't copy the subfolders. I am using VFP so I can dynamically create
the directory using the date within the code and I can set the exe to
run at night at same time.

Also, where is a good place to find a Visual Foxpro book on version 5
or 6. Any suggestions would be helpful.

thanks

Hi Matt,

you need to do the recursive part by yourself, VFP doesn't provide that.
IMHO you should put the filenames and path into paranthesis, else there
could be issues with spaces in the path:

copy file (source) to (target)

Martin

Or you can use WSH, if available
oFS = CREATEOBJECT('Scripting.FilesystemObject')
oFS.CopyFolder(cSource, cDestination)
