Just my 2 cents, but I would venture a guess that what VFP is actually
doing in the background to perform a "RENAME" is to
-- copy the file to the new location
-- delete the original
But, it is more convenient to do one step (for your application) than two.

Hmmm...I didn't realize that would work for this....figured it was
just for the files in the directory where they existed, but sure
enough, from the VFP help text: "If FileName1 and FileName2 are in
different directories or folders, FileName1 is moved into the
directory or folder of FileName2."
Thanks!

VFP9SP2 on Win10 Pro clients
We've got a document management system (DMS) we wrote for a client
and we need to "archive" some files by moving them to a subfolder
from the main one. The first idea is to use VFP's COPY FILE command
and then just delete it once done. I wanted to ask if anyone had a
better idea.
