I'm getting having a strange problem trying to move a file from one server to
another. Here is my code:

strFrom = "d:\testfile.txt"
strTo = "\\server\share\testfile.txt"
Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
fso.MoveFile strFrom, strTo

When I move a small file (<1 MB everything is fine). But when I try a file
that is approximately 25 mb, I get the following error:

Run-time error '-2147023766 (8007046a)'
Method '~' of object '~' failed

I've not narrowed down at exactly what filesize it fails at, but there is
plenty of space on the remote server (>200GB)

Any help would be appreciated

I would get rid of fso as fast as possible. It is very slow and can be
disabled by the user.

Do you get the same problem when you use the FileCopy command?

Try the following and see what happens
FileCopy "d:\testfile.txt", "\\server\share\testfile.txt"

This should work OK. I have used this command with 200 Mb files with no
problem. If you still have an issue I would start looking for a
Hardware/Driver problem.

Thanks... Since I wrote my original message I've tested using FileCopy and
Kill to delete the original file. This seemed to work. I appreciate your
help.
