Wait for a CopyFile to Finish?

Currently our installation files pull a copy of an Access database from a shared network location to the user's desktop. I have hardcoded a 120 second wait into the files (this accounts for file size and network traffic), however not all files need to wait this long and on rare occasions they need to wait longer.

Is there a way to make a script pause until it has finished copying a file so I can avoid hardcoding a wait time?

See THIS THREAD

CopyFile> is modal so the script will pause until that long file copy has finished. I'm cautious so I'd still hardcode a short wait after the CopyFile>.
