Hi,

Am using FileCopy, it works fine when copying from application folder. How can i copy file from other folder for example desktop folder or drive c?

    ls_to = sle_1.text
    ls_from = sle_2.text
    li_FileNum = FileCopy (ls_from,ls_to,FALSE)

regards.

What will happen when deploy to production? Will the end users be access of admin rights?

This is not limitation of PowerBuilder. Windows OS doesn’t allow writing to certain areas of the system without admin privileges. Every app needs to be designed to consider the privileges the user has.
