Does the ArtWork folder exist at that location?

[tinstaafl]

If I understand what you're trying to do, this might work:

FileCopy(txtGrupAddNewArtWrokUploadImage.Text, Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork")

This assumes that Artwork is in the folder where your program resides and that it is already created.

+OpenFileDialogPicture.SafeFileName

Not sure why you have this in there. Are you trying to copy the file to a subfolder of Artwork?

[achinthaadd]

Yes, the ArtWork folder exist at that location ("...bin\debug\Artwork") ;
And

"FileCopy(txtGrupAddNewArtWrokUploadImage.Text, Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork")"

is not working, it make only file which named "artwork" in debug folder.

And ArtWork folder I alredy created in debug folder.

And also,
"+OpenFileDialogPicture.SafeFileName"
I use this for when cording "filecopy" it have to give target location and file name, i use it for get file name.

and,

i cording in like this it working well,

FileCopy(txtGrupAddNewArtWrokUploadImage.Text, "G:\Documents and Settings\Achi\Desktop\Image.jpg")

i don't no why Application.StartupPath is not working..
i'm suffer this matter when last 3 month. please help to me finish my programe....

[deceptikon]

Yes, the ArtWork folder exist at that location ("...bin\debug\Artwork") ;

That's not the location referenced by your error.

[tinstaafl]

Sorry, I was a little rushed when I gave you that.

Try this,

FileCopy(txtGrupAddNewArtWrokUploadImage.Text, Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork\" + OpenFileDialogPicture.SafeFileName)

[achinthaadd]

it also given befor error again, (could not find path)

[tinstaafl]

Artwork has to be created first in order for it to work. If you need to create it in run time, make sure you Imports System.IO first, then use the Directory class.

If Not Directory.Exists(Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork") Then
    Directory.CreateDirectory(Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork")
End If

Plus you should check to make sure the source file exists before you try to copy it, again make sure System.IO is imported.

If File.Exists(txtGrupAddNewArtWrokUploadImage.Text) Then
        FileCopy(txtGrupAddNewArtWrokUploadImage.Text, Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork\" + OpenFileDialogPicture.SafeFileName)
End If

I've tested the code I gave you and I know it works, basically as the programmer you have to makes sure the parts are in place in order for the code to work. If you still have a problem, I'd like to see the code you use to put the file path into the textbox.

[achinthaadd]

if it has some another way for copy file please letme know....

Only a couple of things jumped out at me, that could be changed. I copied Lines 61 & 66 and added them to after you show the OpenFileDialog, again. I showed you how to use the Title of the OpenFileDialog to send a message to the user. This eliminates the need for another messagebox. I added a check for pressing the Cancel button, and exiting the routine if it is pressed. I changed the statmenmt OpenFileDialogPicture.SafeFileName to FILE. This way if you need to make a change to FILE the change will be reflected throughout your instead of having to find every instance of OpenFileDialogPicture.SafeFileName and changing that. Hope this works for you.

Dim PIC As String = ""
Dim FILE As String = ""
FILE = OpenFileDialogPicture.SafeFileName
PIC = Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork\" + FILE
MsgBox(PIC)
con.Open()
Dim SaveNewArtWork As New OleDbCommand

i copied all ur code , but it gived befor error again, i could find what is it...

 FileCopy(txtGrupAddNewArtWrokUploadImage.Text, Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork\" + FILEName)

[tinstaafl]

FileCopy(txtGrupAddNewArtWrokUploadImage.Text, Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork\" + FILEName)

That is not a copy of my code. My code says,

FileCopy(txtGrupAddNewArtWrokUploadImage.Text, Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork\" + FILE)

[achinthaadd]

Sorry for change code,

If FILE.Exists(txtGrupAddNewArtWrokUploadImage.Text) Then

End If

i tried ur code as you send, it not work, becouse "file.exist" is give error becouse "file" also make string variable then give error "exists is not string" then i change variable FILE as FILEName then that error not visible. is it affect to program ???... and also i tried using below code it also not working. Please if it has some another way to copy file, please let me know.

File.Copy(txtGrupAddNewArtWrokUploadImage.Text, Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork\" + FILEName)

[tinstaafl]

Here try this. I missed the variable FILE before. You can't use variable names that are keywords. I changed FILE to NEWFILE it should work for you now.

    Dim PIC As String = ""
    Dim NEWFILE As String = ""
    NEWFILE = OpenFileDialogPicture.SafeFileName
    PIC = Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork\" + NEWFILE
    MsgBox(PIC)
    con.Open()
    Dim SaveNewArtWork As New OleDbCommand
    SaveNewArtWork.Connection = con
    NewArt_1.Fill(DSNewArt_1, "COUntref")
    contRef = DSNewArt_1.Tables("COUntref").Rows(0).Item(0)
    If comboGrupAddNewArtWrokEterReff.Text = "" Then
        MsgBox("Please Enter New Reference No# ...!")
        comboGrupAddNewArtWrokEterReff.Focus()
    ElseIf contRef > 0 Then
        MsgBox("Ref # '" & comboGrupAddNewArtWrokEterReff.Text & "' Is Alredy Enterd; Please Enter New Reference No# ...!")
        comboGrupAddNewArtWrokEterReff.Text = ""
        comboGrupAddNewArtWrokEterReff.Focus()
    ElseIf txtGrupAddNewArtWrokEnterArtWork.Text = "" Then
        MsgBox("Please Enter Art Work ...!")
        txtGrupAddNewArtWrokEnterArtWork.Focus()

        OpenFileDialogPicture.Title = "Please Select Art Work Image # ...!"

            NEWFILE = OpenFileDialogPicture.SafeFileName
            PIC = Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork\" + NEWFILE

Same problem agin, i cant image is my code worng another place.

[tinstaafl]

I'm thinking that because there's no check to see if an image was uploaded, NEWFILE could be "". I've added a check in there, see if that works. The base code for copying the file works, it's just a matter of making sure all the parts are valid. If you still get an error in the filecopy statement comment it out and put in MsgBox("txtGrupAddNewArtWrokUploadImage.Text - "+ txtGrupAddNewArtWrokUploadImage.Text + vbNewLine + "Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork\" + NEWFILE - " + Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork\" + NEWFILE), and see what values are being passed. This will give you a better idea of where the problem is.

    Dim PIC As String = ""
    Dim NEWFILE As String = ""
    NEWFILE = OpenFileDialogPicture.SafeFileName
    If NEWFILE <> "" Then
        PIC = Application.StartupPath + "\Artwork\" + NEWFILE
        MsgBox(PIC)
        con.Open()

        ElseIf contRef > 0 Then

Alternatively, you could start with buttGrupAddNewArtWorkSave disabled, then enable it in buttGrupAddNewArtWorkUpload, then disable it again whenever buttGrupAddNewArtWorkSave exits.

[achinthaadd]

again give error. (i dit put ur Msgbox comand also it give correct path which image have to save and correct file name.) it give error, "could not find path" it show correct path wich path of image have to save path and file name. when i chang path to "G:\Documents and Settings\Achi\Desktop\" + NEWFILE" image was copied. i'm so confuse to find where problem is,

[tinstaafl]

Does the image load into the picturebox?

[achinthaadd]

yes it show picture well.
