Moving files

[DKL01]

Hi,

I was wondering what is the best way of MOVING files from one folder to another using Visual Basic. If error occurs it should call error routine. I really appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

Hey DKL01,

Try to use the MoveFile method to move a file from one folder to another. To build an error handle.....do the following:

private sub MoveMyFile()
on error goto err_handle

obj.MoveFile Source, Destination

err_handle:
'Type your error handling statements here
end sub

Try using the Name function to change the absolute
address. For instance, if you want to move file1.txt from
C:\directory1 to C:\directory2, just add the line:

Name C:\directory1\file1.txt As C:\directory2\file1.txt

I haven't actually tried this, but it looks good.

THOMASING is right!!! Its the Name As method. Just don't forget to use "" for the filenames.

eg. Name "C:\FILENAME1" As "C:\FILENAME2"
