    Hi,

    try using the File Class

    Code:
    Imports System.IO.File
    
    
    Public Class Form1
    
        Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    
            Try
    
            
                Dim FileToCopy As String
                Dim NewCopy As String
    
                OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
    
                FileToCopy = OpenFileDialog1.FileName.ToString
    
                'FileToCopy = "c:\temp\test1.txt"
                NewCopy = "c:\temp\test2.txt"
    
                If System.IO.File.Exists(FileToCopy) = True Then
                    System.IO.File.Copy(FileToCopy, NewCopy, True)
                    MessageBox.Show("File Copied")
                Else
                    MessageBox.Show("File doesn't exist")
                End If
    
            Catch ex As Exception
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
    
            End Try
        End Sub
    End Class
