URGENT - Please help me for a VB Script requiremnt....

Hi can anybody help me as I am not a scripting guy.
I urgently need a script which can perform following tasks

1. Input Box for Source path(dropdown list of folders) and filename need to
be copied.

2. Input Box or Dropdown list for destination path.

3. Rename the existing file with filename_current system date.

4. Prompt if the file in use.

4. Input Box or dropdownlist to move the renamed file.

5. Copy and paste the new file.

6. Finish






Thanks in Advance

Re: URGENT - Please help me for a VB Script requiremnt....

I'll see what I can do, however, I have a question or two...

Do you have a specific list of source folders? Do you need to allow a
"browse for source folder" functionality for ad-hoc folders?

I presume it would work something like this...

1) user selects a source folder (or browses to pick an ad-hoc folder)
2) user picks one or more files in the selected folder
3) user selects a destination folder (or browses to pick an ad-hoc folder)
4) user clicks on MOVE button to rename and move files to destination folder

How are the files to be renamed? For example

file -> myfile.txt renamed to -> myfile 2009_02_02 14_23_17.txt
or -> myfile 2009_02_02.txt

If the new name already exists, could we just pick a new name such as

myfile 2009_02_02 14_23_17(2).txt
or myfile 2009_02_02(2).txt

Your step 4 says to move the renamed file
Your step 5 says to copy and paste the new file

Which is is going to be - move or copy?
