FileCopy and read-only

D

Dkline

I'm using FileCopy to copy a number of files off the servers onto my C:
drive. Everything works fine except for the one file that is read-only. Any
way to persuade FileCopy to copy over that file even if it is a read-only?

I just tested it, and it copied a read-only file just fine (as I expected).
Sure there is not some other problem in the code?

Dim src$, dst$
src$ = "c:\test.txt"
dst$ = "c:\test1.txt"
If GetAttr(dst$) And vbReadOnly Then
SetAttr dst$, vbNormal
End If
FileCopy src$, dst$
End Sub
