I have created but not complete a vbscript that can move the oldest file by last modified date(not current date). The code is the following: Dim totFileCount,startFolder,folderdestination,objFile,totalFiles,fs Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") startFolder = "C:\Documents and Settings\jhurtado\Desktop\VBS" totFileCount = fso.GetFolder(startFolder).Files.Count If totFileCount <= 1 Then Wscript.Quit End If Set totalFiles = fso.GetFolder(startFolder) folderdestination = "C:\Documents and Settings\jhurtado\Desktop\VBS_Old" For Each objFile In totalFiles.Files If objFile.DateLastModified Then objFile.Move folderdestination & "\" & objFile.Name End If Next Wscript.Quit To give you an example I have two files, a text file and excel file. The text file have a last modified date of 1/2/2006 and the excel file have a last modified date of 1/16/2006. I want to move the oldest file to another folder (in this case the text file)to another folder and leave the excel file (in this case) intact in place. Can you help me????Thanks for your help.

Dim sourcePath,targetPath,objFile,totalFiles,fso Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") sourcePath = "C:\Documents and Settings\mdamato\Desktop\VBS" If fso.GetFolder(sourcePath).Files.Count <= 1 Then Wscript.Quit End If Set sourceFolder = fso.GetFolder(sourcePath) targetPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\mdamato\Desktop\VBS_Old" Dim oldestFile, oldestDate For Each objFile In sourceFolder.Files If oldestFile = "" Then Set oldestFile = objFile Else If objFile.DateLastModified < oldestFile.DateLastModified Then Set oldestFile = objFile End If End If Next oldestFile.Move targetPath & "\" & oldestFile.Name Wscript.Quit Michael J

Thanks you Michael this is incredible. Thanks for help me you are excellent. It works as I wish.

You could also do it with this BAT: ::== move1old.bat @echo off set done=N for /f "tokens=*" %%F in ('dir /b/od') do ( call :sub1 %%F ) goto :eof :sub1 if %done% equ Y goto :eof set done=Y echo move %* goto :eof :: DONE ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
