Qui peut m'expliquer pourquoi la commande en delphi 6 sous win XP familial
MoveFile ( Pchar('C:\A\'+name),Pchar(C:\AA\'+name));
marche, mais
MoveFile ( Pchar('C:\A\'+name),Pchar('F:\Om\ZZ\'+name));
ne marche pas ?

Because the former moves a file within the same filesystem (drive),
and the second requires a copy-and-delete. Is my guess. MSDN does
not mention such a limitation, though.

Perhaps GetLastError can tell you more.

Moreover, F could be a network drive. Some things are possible between
partitions that are not allowed for networkdrives and other vfs systems.
