Move a file via code

fordrs3 · June 25th, 2003, 02:52 PM

Is it possible to move a file from one location on a HDD to another using VB?

For example:
c:\this\that\theother\a.txt
c:\this\that\a.txt

The simplist way is probably to us NAME, AS

Name "c:\this\that\theother\a.txt" As "c:\this\that\a.txt"

I think that is correct?

You can also use the File System Objects method FileCopy to learn more about it read your help files for File System Object.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Larry, I'll give it a go, and do some reading on FSO. Its difficult when you first start out to know what to search for. I tried "move file" and "copy file" but never would of thought of FSO, so this really helps, thanks
