OuTLawZGoSu | Aight, this is what i need. - I need a program ( Program1 ) to copy it's self when you press Command1. - Then paste that copy in a folder called "Folder2" in program1's folder. - Then make a text file in Folder2 named "Log.txt", and print "Complete" in the text file. If this can be done, plz let me know. | January 2, 2004, 1:55 AM |

[/quote] [code] Private Sub Command1_Click() MkDir(AppPath, "Folder2") Filecopy(AppPathAndFileName, AppPath & "\Folder2") Open AppPath & "\Folder2\Log.txt" For Binary As #1 Put #1,,"Complete" Close #1 End Sub [/code] I believe most of it's correct, I didn't use the VB IDE's autocomplete to check parameters. | January 2, 2004, 2:15 AM |

I believe you need to be on a NT system to rename/move(?) running executables. You can use the MkDir statement to create the folder if it doesn't already exist. Use the Open statement to access a file and write to it. | January 2, 2004, 2:19 AM |
