Re: permission denied when moving folder

Thanks for the info.

I try to use movefile in the script and I need to overwrite the same file everyday. But it prompt an error "file already exist". So its there anyway that I can overwrite the file using movefile.

Thanks.

I read what you wrote but my tests tell me something else.
Both of the following scripts fail:
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.MoveFolder "C:\Thu" , "D:\Thu"

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.MoveFolder "C:\Thu" , "D:\"

whereas this one works:
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.MoveFolder "C:\Thu" , "C:\Wed"

Since drive D: is a FAT32 volume, there are no permission
issues. What do you get when you try this script?

I had to use different source and destination locations, but as you
assert, the documentation seems to be in error. The move attempt to a
network drive addressed as H:\ failed (with a permission denied, even
though I have appropriate permissions there), while a move to the same
NTFS local drive worked.
