Also before, at the moment of doing and after performing the action... File Copy File Not found File Delete File Send Database Update Database Insert Database Delete Please help with the syntax and approprite sentences. thanks in advance,

The convention for a file copy is to show a file being copied animation, and to provide feedback on the file being copied. For instance, if there are multiple files being copied you would normally tell the user where they are in the copying process, e.g. Copying 10 of 24 and it is common to show a progressbar detailing performance. Anyway, the standard way to design your application is to write the messages out in your own language (stored in a resource DLL), and then have someone translate the commands out in the relevant language. When it comes to standards, take a look at what the tools you use on a day to day basis tell you. What does Word say in these situations? Visual Studio? Explorer? It's generally best to follow what others have done rather than reinventing things yourself.
