: Help!! I am fairly new to Delphi and could use some help! I need to browse for origin and destination directories and then copy all the files in the origin directory to the destination directory. I have figured out how to copy a single file, but am unable to figure out how to browse for dir's and copy all files. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Have a look in DelphiLand's section "Code Snips", under "Find files with FindFirst and FindNext".
This introduces the procedure FindFiles, for filling a list with the full paths of files that are located in a given folder. It also gives the files in all of the subdirectories, but it's easy to disable this last feature.

Examples:
FindFiles('c:\docs', '*.doc') fills a list with all .doc files that are in c:\docs and its subdirectories.
FindFiles('d:\data', '*.*') fills a list with all files that are in d:\data and its subdirectories.
