You can scan the project's files collection
For Each oFile In _vfp.ActiveProject.Files
? oFile.Name, oFile.Type
&& copy file ...
&& copy corresponding memo file if any
&& like VCT for VCX, SCT, MNT etc...

Hi Samir,

When I have a relatively small project I keep everything in one folder -
that is, I don't have Progs, Reports, etc. folders. However, Stefan's idea
will work well if you need to store them separately.

Using WinXP's native zipping function I can zip a folder that has
sub-folders and preserve the subfolders. I do this manually though - not
with a program.

First Thank you Stefan for your code.

I did already have all my functions and report in one folder(300 .prg as
function and 250 report 'system requirement')., but sometimes i make a small
project that i use about 3 already existing prj, and 1 report, in addition
to new prg and report that belong to this project only, so if i need to copy
this project to another location via modem, i need to gather all that
project files coz it will take a lttile time to seach amoung all these
files.
