system.io.file not found exception

[GR M]

Hi,
During file copy, I'm giving the absolute file name. But the compiler says file not found always. Is it a problem in my system or any error in my program.

 
 Public Sub backupDB()
        Try
 
            Dim FileToCopy As String
            Dim NewCopy As String
 
            FileToCopy = "E:\Gyana_projects\Medicine_Stores_Management.accdb"
            NewCopy = String.Format("D:\BackUps\{0:yyyyMMdd}.mdb", Date.Today)
 
            FileCopy(FileToCopy, NewCopy)
     MsgBox("Backup Successful")
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString)
        End Try
    End Sub
 
 

Also I'm Giving the absolute path of the file by Copying it from the address bar
i.e:E:\Gyana_pr ojects
File name is: Medicine_Stores _Management.acc db
Plz help ASAP.
Thanks in advance

Have you tried giving same file extension, because your src file is .accdb and destination is .mdb

Yes, I have tried those. The only soln I'v Got, that the code is almost perfect.The problem might be in the system. The Access That I'v used is of unregistered version. While openining, It always asks to register. This might be the cause of all problem. I'v modified the code to copy other files, such as .vb or .txt. It works fine. Thanks for your prompt reply MR. Prasad599. Plz reply me on these thoughts.

Hello Prasd599, I'v finally made it. Actually the code was perfect. The problem was with the unregistered version of MS Access. I'v fixed it and all is well. Thanks a lot Showing interest in my problem. Tk Kr.
