If I am moving a file with the FileSystemObjects move command, will the code
not move to the next process until the file has completely finished being
moved? I just want to make sure that the file is moved before I continue on.

Thanks.

on.

If you are using an instance of the FileInfo object, it is synchronous,
which means that it does not release until the operation has completed. The
file will be moved before the next line of your code is executed.

If you /really/ mean the FSO ...

Why?

The File manipulation classes provided by the framework are
*far* superior, don't need [yet] another DLL deploying with
your application and don't get disabled by paranoid Server
Administrators.

System.IO.File.Move( "from", "to" )
