Hi all, I want to move a document between sites, so I have added the 'Create item in another site' box onto an approval workflow that copies a document to another site, it works everytime a new document is added, here is the simple config of that box:

I've obviously hidden the http address, it works in that it appears to send the document however when I click on the document title in the recipient library after the transfer 'Word' attempts to open the document but I get this instead?

Any clues?, my approach is probably too simplistic...

Hi John,

Try using the "Copy to SharePoint" action instead.  That action allows you to copy a document from one site to another site.  You could create a workflow with that action and then a "Delete Item" action to delete the document after copying it to the new destination.
