windows installer MoveFiles Action doesn't move files

I know that there are some situations that the MoveFiles action won't move files. I made some sample installs to test this and confirmed that it won't overwrite newer files, for instance. I'm sure there are many instances where the files won't be moved or
copied, but I can't find any documentation on this anywhere. The reason I ask is because I have some files that don't get copied and I can't figure out why. The .txt files get moved and the .mdb files don't. The destination folder doesn't exist yet so ne
ither do the files. The files are not in use and they're not setup for ODBC or anything else. Any suggestions?
