Thx to BoBo.
My statement here was wrong and I've decided to delete it, as I don't want to confuse anyone out there with an incorrect advise Embarassed

Beastmaster seems to be wrong --> FileCopyDir, Source, Dest [, Flag]
Both parameters are literals by default and therefore have to be declared if should contain a variable Wink

Here is a working example:
Code:
FileSelectFolder, SourceFolder, , 3, Select the folder to copy
if SourceFolder =
   return
; Otherwise, continue.
FileSelectFolder, TargetFolder, , 3, Select the folder IN WHICH to create the duplicate folder.
if TargetFolder =
   return
; Otherwise, continue.
MsgBox, 4, , A copy of the folder "%SourceFolder%" will be put into "%TargetFolder%".  Continue?
IfMsgBox, No
   return
SplitPath, SourceFolder, SourceFolderName  ; Extract only the folder name from its full path.
FileCopyDir, %SourceFolder%, %TargetFolder%\%SourceFolderName%
if ErrorLevel <> 0
   MsgBox The folder could not be copied, perhaps because a folder of that name already exists in "%TargetFolder%".
return

I've also updated the documentation with this: "Since the operation will recursively copy a folder along with all its subfolders and files, the result of copying a folder to a destination somewhere inside itself is undefined. To work around this, first copy it to a destination outside itself, then use FileMoveDir to move that copy to the desired location."
