Hello,

I was trying to write a program in visual basic that had to be able to copy
large binary files.

I tried writing a procedure to do it, but it was very very slow.

I tried using the shell command and xcopy, but it was abit messy as the
screen goes all blact and it leaves windows to it, also its hard to get
the results of wether the file was actually coped or not.

So my question is:

Is there an effiect way to copy large files from visual basic for windows?

Has anyone written a DLL for doing this?

Any suggestions appreciated,

Thanks,
