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.

Why not, just before the move, check for the existence of the file at
the destination, and deleting it if necessary?

Something like:
If objFSO.FileExists(sDestinationPath) Then
objFSO.DeleteFile ( sDestinationPath[, force] )
End If
