kirkside kirkside Getting the hang of it Registered: 2006-01-19 Posts: 52 Loc: UK	I have a text box where a username is inserted. There is a button next to the box. What I want to happen is as follows: When the button is pressed, the computer connects to a network share on the network (\\server\data\), finds the folder that is has the same name as the username in the text box, and then transfers the users files from the network to the local drive (c:\data). Any help would be appreciated.

This should give you an idea

Code:

  
break on

$Textbox.OnClick = 'TextBoxOnClick()'
.
.
.
function TextBoxOnClick()
   dim $serverPath,$localPath
   $serverPath = '\\Server\Share\' + $Textbox.text 
   $localPath = 'c:\data'
   if exist($serverPath)
      copy $serverPath + '\*.*' $localPath /c /h /r /s
   endif
endfunction

kirkside kirkside Getting the hang of it Registered: 2006-01-19 Posts: 52 Loc: UK	The below script that maciep gave me works a treat. Is there any way to add a progress bar to it? Code: Function CopyUser() dim $serverPath,$localPath $serverPath = 'C:\data\Share\' + $User.text $localPath = 'c:\data\User\' If exist($serverPath) Copy $serverPath + '\.' $localPath /c /h /r /s EndIf EndFunction
