Have you tried creating the new folder item with the new absolute
path to see if there's something special about just altering the
absolute path of an existing one ?
something just slightly different than what you have like
dim f as FolderItem
dim origpath as String = f.AbsolutePath
dim newpath as string = TemporaryFolder.Child("Test").AbsolutePath
f = new Folderitem(newpath, Folderitem.PathTypeAbsolute)
if f.AbsolutePath = newpath then
MsgBox "Updated to new path"
Elseif f.AbsolutePath = origpath then
MsgBox "Update failed. Error = "+ str( f.LastErrorCode )
else
MsgBox "Unexpected result. Path is now:" + EndOfLine +
f.AbsolutePath
end if
