    In order to run a dos command from within VB you need to use the shell command. An example to move a word file from the c to d drive is as follows:

    lRet = Shell("cmd /c move /y c:\Oldlocation.doc d:\newlocation.doc",vbHide)

    the /c tells the cmd window to execute the string following. The /y on the move surpresses messages
