I haven't tested all of the win api alternatives, but judging from the ones I have tested, I'd guess that all fox disk io functions use the api, too. I guess this is a bit of a no brainer, since I seem to remember that talking to disk drives _only_ through winapi was an innovation in a previous version of windows. Seem reasonable.

I suggest MoveFile (in the Win32 API) for the actual 'move' step. Some examples below *-- MoveFile API - this will 'move' files and actually move directories *-- Sample Call: *-- MoveFile('C:\test\source\one', 'c:\test\new\one') DECLARE INTEGER MoveFile IN WIN32API STRING @cFrom, STRING @cTo Example call: nX = MoveFile("C:\original\folder\place", "c:\new\folder\place") Note: the string should *not* have a trailing backslash.
