"Path Not Found" error

[Memnoch1207]

I am using the following code to move a file from one location (locally) to another location on the network, but it generates a "Path Not Found" error.
But if I type the paths into the "Run" box, it opens the locations just fine.

Any ideas??

cstrPrinterPath = "C:\MyFolder"

fso.MoveFile cstrPrinterPath & "\" & strFileName, "\\NetworkShare\MyFolders\PDFCatalogs\November\" & strNewFileName

Try using ordinary FileCopy instead. Also, check what values strNewFileName and strFileName currently have and perhaps security settings for that network folder.

Does the "to" folder alreay exist? From what I've read you can't create a new folder on another server.

It appears to be an issue with the local path, rather than the network path.

the cstrPrinterPath & "\" & strFileName = "C:\PDFFolder\Seagate Crystal Reports ActiveX.pdf"

When I copy it into the "RUN" box, it generates the following error.

Windows cannot find 'C:\PDFFolder\Seagate'

It isn't reading the entire file name, it stops at the first space.

Strange but I was able to replicate your problem using FSO.
There was no problem what-so-ever when FileCopy was used.

I'm getting the same error "Path Not Found" when using fso.MoveFile or FileCopy.

Try puting it between single or double quotes.

[Memnoch1207]

I already tried that too.

Even when I hard code the path, like below, it still generates a "Path Not Found" Error.

fso.MoveFile "C:\PDFFolder\" & strFileName, "C:\PDFFolder\" & strNewFileName

All the above line of code should do is rename the file from "Seagate Crystal Reports ActiveX.pdf" to "Test.pdf".
But it still generates the error...and yes, I do have a folder named "PDFFolder" on my C:

[RhinoBull]

Is that folder hidden by any chance?
Also, do you have all rights to read/write despite it's your own system?

Have you tried this:

Name "C:\PDFFolder\" & strFilename As "C:\PDFFolder\" & strNewFileName

[dglienna]

can you open the destination folder from the RUN box? That would cause problems if the folder isn't shared.

[leinad31]

Try shell xcopy

xcopy "C:\Sample with space.txt" "\\Maya\Target Dir\Sample with space.txt"

[dglienna]

I just tried a copy from the command prompt. It works as long as the destination folder exists.

copy "t est.txt" "\\192.168.1.4\c$\new folder\new test.txt"

even when renaming the file.

you need to tell it which drive you are using...

This has been resolved.
The strNewFileName is the persons name they entered into the survey.
Unfortunately some of them are morons and put parentheses and slashes in their names, which was causing the code to blow up!

OK, now please edit the first post and add the green checkmark.
