I have used below command to move
E:\Accounts>forfiles /s /m *.* /d -730 /c "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE move
@path F:\Accounts".The files are moving but what was the folder structure is
there in E:\ Accounts its not creating and moving with same structure in
F:\Accounts simply moving all the files to F:\Accounts the problem is that

Nothing to do with VB Scripts - I recommend you repost in
alt.msdos.batch.nt.

Google is your friend. Put the link I gave you in my first reply into a
Google search box and see what happens - like so:

"alt.msdos.batch.nt"
