Document copy funcion within a form

I need to copy a document from one location to the other within our form. The user provides the link to the document and the destination folder in the form. On submitting the form the document needs to be copied to the destination Is there a was to invoke the document copy function through the URL?

You might beable to use the Item Handler step in a workflow to accomplish this. Thesubmission mechanism of the form would initiate the workflow and the ItemHandler could use the form entries to move the attachment.

Is the document in Livelink? Wouldn't it be tougher to do this with an external document identified by a URL in a form field?

How to I make the workflow take the file and the destination information from the form? When I try to configure the itme handlers Move/copy tab it forces me to select a specic file and destination.

The document is within Livelink. I need to copy it to another folder, fill in the required category attributes and return the destination location.So far I managed to copy the file calling the below url in a popup/func=ll&objId=622811&objAction=copy&nexturl=xyzThe user is able to copy the file and set categories this way but I cannot figure out a way to retrieve the destination folder ID to save in the form.Please help.

I was thinking Iwould do something like the following:

<![if !supportLists]>1) <![endif]>create a single item handler step and in it

<![if !supportLists]>2) <![endif]>create a folder definition from the form

<![if !supportLists]>3) <![endif]>using the newly created folder definition on the move/copy tab setthe Source to the attached document and the Target to the folder definition

I have nottested this but am confident it will work.

Hope this helps
