Problem with MoveFile command in ASP page

[RSH]

I have an ASP page that needs to move a file from one directory to another.
The code is quite simple but I can't seem to get it to work. I keep getting
a "Download Error: Procedure call or argument is not valid." error when it
hits the movefile part of the code.

What am I missing?
Dim fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

strFile1 = "C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\20060118-QuarterlyReports-05112006.rpt"

strFile2 =
"C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\Archive\\20060118-QuarterlyReports-05112006.rpt"

If fso.fileexists(strFile1) Then

fso.MoveFile(strFile1, strFile2)

End If

Thanks!

Ron,

This isn't an ASP newsgroup but ...

What am I missing?

Probably that backslash isn't an escape character in Basic so you
don't need to double them in file paths.

RSH,

Probably has your ASPNET user (as it should be) no rights to do this in the
general Internet Folders and bellow.

I hope this helps,
