Jozef,
Check the "RENAME" command in VFP help. It states that if you include path as well as file name for starting and ending file name the file will be moved to the new folder.

Works beautifully, all inside VFP.

>Now I have another question. You wrote that you move files. Is a way to really move files using only vfp commands (not by copying source to target and deleteting source), like moving files to WINDOWS RECYCLE BIN (erase xxx recycle). Copying requiers for a moment additional space. Do you use dos 7 command " move /y ".
