VBShell to move files using a wildcard

[Paxman23]

Hi everyone!

I've been racking my brain trying to get a small piece of code working to move a group of files across the network periodically, but I can't seem to get anything I try to work. Basically I'm moving Acronis Backup files (.TIB). The code I have shows no errors, but nothing happens.

Dim objshell

Set objshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

objshell.Run "xcopy D:\Backup\*.TIB Z:\12"

objshell.Run "xcopy /y D:\Backup\.meta Z:\12"

Set objshell = Nothing

Is there a reason nothing is moving? Like I said, there's no errors so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated, I'm still very new to all of this!

I think the problem might come from the missing "cmd.exe /c " before "xcopy..." but i would replace xcopy with robocopy which will be more reliable for this task (and it also doesn't need cmd.exe to run).
