path1	The path of the file to copy (optional unless source$ is not in the current folder)
source	The name, and if necessary, the path, of the file to copy
path2	The path to the folder to which the file should be copied (optional unless the file is to be copied to the current folder)

Example

This example copies one file to another. Both filenames are specified by the user.

Sub Button_Click
   Dim oldfile, newfile
   On Error Resume Next
   oldfile = "c:\temp\trace.txt"
   newfile = "c:\temp\newtrace.txt"
   FileCopy oldfile,newfile
   If Err <> 0 then
      msgtext = "Error during copy. Rerun program."
   Else
      msgtext = "Copy successful."
      End If
End Sub
