Troubles Using CopyFile with Shortcuts

Dexter1 · Post by **Dexter1** » Fri Oct 27, 2006 3:37 pm

I have a folder that I want to fill with shortcuts to use as part of a database installation macro. However, when I try to use CopyFile for the shortcut, nothing happens. I don't get an error, but my destination folder doesn't have the shortcut in it.

I know my addresses are ok because I'm copying other files from the same location. Is there some reason I can't copy the shortcuts?

Also, can I get Macro Scheduler to create the shortcuts for me? That'd be better still.

You should be able to use copyfile to copy shortcuts. Are you using the full name of the shortcuts. They have a .lnk extension and that must be included in the name.

Or you could use this from Marcus to create your shortcuts.

Hope this helps,
Dick

Yeah, I was missing the .lnk. Thanks a heap!
