[AccessD] Move Folder

I've never looked at Robocopy before.  I just found that it comes build in with Vista and later 
so typed "Robocopy /?"  at the commandline. 

I'd like to retract my previous response.  My new response is:

My preferred way to move a folder through code is by building a Robocopy command string 
and passing it to a Shell()    :-)
