Hi,
the FSO-methods MoveFolder and DeleteFolder will always

set parameter foce=true.
How can I solve this problem ?

Hey mate.

This would be caused if you currently have a handle to a file in that folder. Force will only ignore the attributes such as readonly etc.

Close any open files before moving. Also your application exe won't happen to be in that folder will it??? That WILL be locked!

the exe is not in that folder.
in fact, the folder is empty 'cause all the files have been
moved to a backup-folder

The FSO might still keep a reference to that folder ...

I was standing in the park, wondering why frisbees got bigger as they came closer... then it hit me!
