Using workflow to move a document

HI,

I'm looking for a way to move a document from one library to another using workflow. Specifically I want to move a document from LIBRARY A to the drop off library for archiving.

I have so far tried without success to use the update name and path field but to no avail.

The business need is to apply certain workflow steps (all work fine) to the document updating certain fields based on criteria and then route the document to the drop off library for archiving.

Thanks for the links

I have tried the approach outlined copy & delete however this does not satisfy the requirements. The item being "moved" contains significant metadata which needs to be moved with the file. Copy does not provide this function.
