how do i handle a movefile error

[bookouri]

I want to move every file in a directory to another directory, I can use
Dim fso
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
fso.MoveFile "c:\temp\source\*.*", "c:\temp\dest\"
but if the file already exists the script fails and nothing gets moved. How can I force the script to overwrite the existing file no matter what?

any suggestions would be appreciated...

You may use the CopyFile method like this:

fso.CopyFile "c:\temp\source\*.*","c:\temp\dest\",True

and then the DeleteFile method.

Hope This Help

Actually thats what I ended up doing. Im still having a problem though... when I do a copyfile or movefile the files dont really get copied/moved to the mapped drive destination. They just disappear into never never land for some reason.
