Good work. This puts it all together. Much better than the detach / move files / attach process that I've been using.

Just to be sure this is the best way to go about achieving what I need to accomplish; here's the scenario.
Today, I need to free up space on existing drives to make room for a ton of data that will be added this evening. It seems to me the best way to do this is to move a filegroup from Drive D [which has the least amount of space and will grow the most] to Drive F [the new empty drive]. Will your procedure work for this particular situation? Is there a better way [easier way] to do this? I am always amazed that you can't redirect to a new physical drive just as you do when you create a new filegroup but of course, that would be too easy. Thanks for input.

Yes, it will work, however, before trying this is always good to create a backup of your database; also, it doesn't hurt to set the database to single_user and run the script within the same session.

Dude, you rock! The last time I did that it was an incredibly painful process; detach database; move everything over; redirect and redo indexes; double check permissions; reattach database. This was way more efficient and from the looks of things, everything worked without intervention - no recreating logins and permissions, no redirecting in code. Awesome! I am a happy person.

You shouldn't need to set the database single user first, just issue the following
alter database set offline with rollback immediate

That would accomplish setting it offline and kicking out all users in one step, but having the database in single-user mode when it is brought online again is useful as it gives us a chance to run some verification checks on the database after the data files have been moved, and before others begin to use it. We can change the database to single-user mode while the database is offline though.

What verification checks?
The database will either come online or fail if the path\filename is not correct
