   Hi,   
   I have a batch file that checks a folder to see if there is a file in there.   
   If it is then move it elsewhere.   
      
   I have used the /Y switch and it still asks me to confirm. When i do manually   
   confirm it, the file is still not moved.   
      
   Weird thing is that it used to worjk then has now stopped.   
      
   Please Help.   
      
   Below is the code   
      
   @echo off   
   if exist "\\[SERVERNAME]\[FOLDER1]\[FOLDER2]\[FOLDER3]\WORKING O   
   \[FILENAME].accdb" (   
   echo. File Exists   
   move /Y "\\[SERVERNAME]\[FOLDER1]\[FOLDER2]\[FOLDER3]\WORKING ON   
   [FILENAME].accdb" "\\[SERVERNAME]\[FOLDER1]\[FOLDER2]\"   
   rem exit   
      
   ) else (   
   rem exit   
   )
