I have a script written that successfully copy's a file to a directory
based on varibles. I now need lines of code that move files. I copied
the lines of code to and changed the varibales to match and nothing is
moved. If i change the wording back to FSO.CopyFile, it works, but not
FSO.MoveFile... any ideas??? If I put in breaks, and hover over the
variables, they all have the correct values:

code:
__________________________________________________ ________________________

Me.txtArchFile = [Forms]![frmGuides]![sfrmFileName]![HypLink]
StrFileNameToArch = Me.txtArchFile
If IsNull(StrFileNameToArch) Or StrFileNameToArch = "" Then
Exit Sub
Else


FSO.MoveFile Source:=strCurrentLoc & StrFileNameToArch, _
Destination:=strArchLoc & StrFileNameToArch, _
overwritefiles:=True
End If

Thanks,

Dave

The trick is to ReName the File using the "Name" Command.
Name "C:\Test.Txt" As "C:\Folder\Test2.Txt"

Is there a way to keep the same file name? I have a link stored in an
access database that stores the file name and would like it to be the
same.

Does it matter that I use "\\server\" in my path server being an IP
address?

Name "C:\Test.txt" as "\\192.168.0.1\Data\Test.txt"
Should work
