> Secondly, is there perhaps a better way of doing it.
How about using SHFileOperation?

Insert this where you want to perform the copy:
! This copies an entire directory - note the terminating <0>
Source = 'C:\TheSourceDirectory\*.*' & '<0>'
! This would copy 2 files
! The filenames are separated by <0>
! The list is terminated by <0><0>
Source = 'file1.exe<0>file2.exe<0><0>
Destination = 'C:\TheDestinationDirectory'
CLEAR(SHFileOp)
SHFileOp.hWnd = 0{PROP:Handle}
SHFileOp.wFunc = FO_COPY
SHFileOp.pFROM = ADDRESS(Source)
SHFileOp.pTo = ADDRESS(Destination)
SHFileOp.fFlags = FOF_NOCONFIRMATION + FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR
SHFileOperation(ADDRESS(SHFileOp))
