Create a file in <xyscripts> called source.txt.

Run

copyitem "<xyscripts>\source.txt", "<xyscripts>\copy.txt";

copy.txt is created (confirming that I do have the parameters in the correct order).

Run the command a second time. The Windows warning is displayed but with the source filename, when it should be warning about the existing file that is about to be overwritten.

Confirmed. But that message isn't mine. It's a Windows bug. Send them the report. Good luck!

Before I submit a bug report, would you be willing to say in broad terms how you are coding the copy? Is it a VB6 native command or are you using a Windows API call, and which one?

But, seriously, forget it. This will never be fixed.
