Thank you, tcengiz. I have checked now and it is because of the 8.3 filenames. I will try to use the fsutil options in the article, to overcome this problem.<br />

Bill Prew, thank you for your input, but this command still displays the wrong files because of the 8.3 filename problem.

I am working on a migration project with a large number of files that are divided by year. The file name includes the year it was created, but when I want to move them based on this it doesn't work:<br />
D:\BiMMigration\2005&gt;move 2007* &quot;d:\BiMMigration\2005\2007<wbr />temp&quot;<br />
D:\BiMMigration\2005\2005_<wbr />DOMP-AHXKQ<wbr />M.doc<br />
D:\BiMMigration\2005\2005_<wbr />DOMP-AHXFB<wbr />5.doc<br />
<br />
In this case, files that are starting with 2005 are move even though I write 2007*<br />
<br />
What could be the problem?
