      Look up the following api in MSDN:

      BOOL CopyFile(
      LPCTSTR lpExistingFileName, // name of an existing file
      LPCTSTR lpNewFileName, // name of new file
      BOOL bFailIfExists // operation if file exists
      );

                I've corrected the code, try this out.. CFile source; CFile dest; char strFilter[] = { "Log Files (*.log)|*.log|" }; CFileDialog FileDlg(FALSE, ".log", NULL, 0, strFilter); if( source.Open("LogFile.log", CFile::modeRead | CFile::shareDenyWrite ) == FALSE ) return false; if( FileDlg.DoModal() == IDOK ) { if( dest.Open(FileDlg.GetPathName(),CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite | CFile::modeNoTruncate)==FALSE) return false; CString fl; fl=FileDlg.GetPathName(); char c[1000]; int ncount = 0; do { memset(c,0,1000); ncount = source.Read(c,1000); if(ncount > 0) dest.Write(c,ncount); } while(ncount>0); source.Close(); dest.Close(); }
