Is there a possibility the account this database is running under does
not have write/modify permissions to either the source or destination
folders (or one level above)? It is my understanding that the
MoveFolder operation mimics a cut 'n' paste operation, which first
copies the object to the destination folder and then deletes it from
the source folder. The account needs to have permissions to delete the
source folder and modify the folder containing it, and permissions to
modify/write to the folder containing the destination folder.
But I can move files. Cut and paste these two functions into a standard
module and test from the immediate window with something like:
?MoveTheseFilesTo("C:\NewFolder1\")
(select any file from the dialog - NewFolder1 must exist)
and
?MoveThisFolderTo("C:\NewFolder2\")
(select any folder from the dialog - NewFolder2 must exist)
You'll get the same results - files get moved no problem, but folders get
hung up on "Error Number 70: Permission denied"
