Sounds like damaged floppies

1223L ERROR_CANCELLED

I assume this turned up in Err.LastDllError
SHFileOp should only return a Long Integer containing 1 or 0 which are
the C versions of True and False.
I really would do a bit more checking using pure VB code
You don't need to Shell to XCopy, as much as anything that will create
as many problems as SHFileOp ... when there are problems
VB has a very nice FileCopy procedure, on my version it does not do
*.* but that is not a major problem
