FileListBox copy / save to specific file name

[Bob]

Hello

I have not used a File list box before. But it may be the only choice
I have to get the results I need.

What I need to do is populate the File list box with the files on the
A:\ drive. Then have the user select the file they want and have it
copied to a folder C:\Import as import.txt. It is a text based file
they will be copying but the file must be named "import.txt" Could
someone please help me out with this. It will be used with another
program so I just need a way to have it named

Thank you very much
Bob

I don't see why from your description but in general I'd ddrop the
drive, dir and file list boxes anyway. doing your own code makes it
easier to control what appears and how they act.

VB's FileCopy statement will let you do that

FileCopy sourcepath, "C:\Import.TXT"

you may also need to use Kill to delete previous versions of the
C:\Import.TXT file first
