CODE

Dim attribute As System.IO.FileAttributes = IO.FileAccess.ReadWrite System.IO.File.SetAttributes(safold.SelectedPath, attribute) System.IO.File.Copy(safold.SelectedPath, ListBox1.Items.Item(0), True) MsgBox("Files copied")

Okay, im trying to copy a file to a folder (safold.selectedpath) and i keep getting a "Access to path [safold's path] denied" as you can see im even editing the files attributes to read and write and i still get this error, the selected path isnt read only either, so whats causing this problem?

Two possible causes I can think of. First, the path to copy the file to must contain the file name. It shouldn't be just a path to a folder to which you're copying. Second, if the file exists, File.Copy won't overwrite by default. To allow overwrite, you must call File.Copy(path_to, path_from, True).

If the files are in system folders such as "Program Files" or "Windows" you may need to run your program as administrator.

Thanks for the reply dudes, given up on Visual basic as its a time waster
Started to learn c++ using "cprogramming.com"

Im currently using codeblocks as my debugger, cause vc++ is too complicated for me

VB is still a fast way to make Window based apps.
And I think you meant to say Codeblocks as IDE ( Integrated Development Environment) ?
