OK your code should look like this: if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { string filename = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(openFileDialog1.FileName); string fname = Application.StartupPath + \ + filename; File.Copy (openFileDialog1.FileName.ToString() fname true); } Now it should work (works for me).

try to use File.Copy(filename fname true) File.copy syntax is File.Copy (string source_path string destination_path bool overwrite)
