iHello, Im new to this group, and very new to Visual Basic (MS-Windows)
At the moment I am trying to write a program for someone useing VB & QEVB
This is the first thing Ive done in VB.
A very important part of this project is copying files. And I dont seem to be
able to do this very neatly, the ways I tried are
i) Using Shell command to execte xcopy
ii) Writing a procedure in VB to copy.
The first was messy as it poped a dark old dos screen up and started it up as a n
asyronous process
The second was VERY VERY slow.

This seems to be a bad problem with VB, althpough the other file handling stuff isnt 
to bad. 

Is there a way to get around this,  
Please please help me if you can,
Thanks in advance,
