I wrote a DLL in MSVC++ You can call from VFP.

If you don't mind using DLL's and want it let me know and I'll email it to you...

It has the following functionality...
FUNCTION "Oldest"
DESCRIPTION: Returns oldest file in a given directory with a given file pattern.

FUNCTION MoveTFile
DESCRIPTION: Used to Move a file on Oracle from one folder to another. (or to a new name)

FUNCTION DelFolder
DESCRIPTION: Used to Delete all files in a given folder.

FUNCTION NumFiles
DESCRIPTION: Count Number of Files in a Folder of a given extention.

The move function you could use but it moves the file and doesn't copy it I could send you the code
and you could change the function though....
