This is a follow on from my previous post. I think I might be able to use a wait for window to lose focus command to wait for a file to finish copying before the macro moves on to it's next task. Is there a way to wait for the "Copying..." window to finish and then move to another step in the macro? Sorry if this seem a fairly obvious question. Cheers.

Thanks for your reply Joe. The problem is I can't use the copy file command because I am copying different files each time. I might select 5 files from c:/folder and then copy them to the matching location on e:/folder and then again to g:/folder. Sometimes they are newly created files I am pasting and sometimes they are overwriting existing files. I presently I am just using CTRL C and V in the macro, then type "a" (in case the dialog appears "do you want to replace files - all) and then type "y" in case i am just overwriting the one file.

I have a repetitive task which I'm trying to create a macro for. The task is copying either 1 or many files and or folders and then changing drive letters, pasting them into the same location on the new drive, then moving to another drive and pasting them again in the same named folder. The problem being that sometimes the file or folders already exist and need to be written over. The files/folders very in size and I was wondering if I need an if/then to wait for the pasting process to be complete so the macro does not get ahead of itself. ANy assistance would be muchly appreciated.
