New to this

Hello all, I am fairly new to VBS and I have a question.

Here's what I am trying to accomplish:
I have a source folder (example: H:\Ermx Processing\Davie) that will contain a folder named as the date (todays date example: H:\Ermx Processing\Davie\1119)

I want to rename this date folder to this: H:\Ermx Processing\Davie\1119D and then move it to a destination directory (example H:\Ermx Processing\Davie\2007 Done).

I also have several other folder within the H:\Ermx Processing\ directory that I want to do the same thing, and I'd like to have one single script file to do this. I can adjust the first script to reflect the others, I just can't get the first one to work.

Here is what i have so far, and when I try and run it, I get a permission error. I know I can run scripts to this directory because I have another script setup to copy all files of a certain type to a different directory...and I can manually rename and move this folder so I would assume my permissions should be fine.

  1. Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  2. myFolder = "H:\Ermx Processing\Davie" 'source folder
  3. destFolder = "H:\Ermx Processing\Davie\2007 Done" 'destination folder
  4. theDay = Day(Now)
  5. If Len(theDay) < 2 Then
  6.     theDay = "0"&theDay 'put 0 if single digit day
  7. End If 
  8. theMonth = Month(Now)
  9. If Len(theMonth) < 2 Then
  10.     theMonth = "0"&theMonth 'put 0 if single digit month
  11. End If 
  12. theDir = theMonth & theDay
  13. myFolder= myFolder&"\"&theDir 'define pdf folder
  14. If Not objFSO.FolderExists(myFolder) Then
  15.     WScript.Echo "Folder " , myFolder ,"does not exists"
  16.     ON ERROR RESUME NEXT
  17. End If 
  18. For Each myFiles In objFSO.GetFolder(myFolder).Files
  19.     If objFSO.FolderExists(myfolder) Then
  20.         objFSO.MoveFolder myfolder ,  destFolder&"\"&myfolder&"D"
  21.     End If 
  22.  
  23. NEXT

Copying is not the same as writing! The permissions required are different.

Also, being able to personally modify folders does not necessarily mean the system can do so.

The common solution is the give IUSR Modify permissions (Read/Write/Execute).
