hai

a cell address contains a file name. i want the file name in the cell
address to be the input for the code below, so that the file is copied
to a new location....i.e. instead of the "test.doc", i should have the
file name mentioned in the cell address


Sub file_trf_copy()
oldname = "C:\test.doc"
newname = "\\....\test.doc"
FileCopy oldname, newname
End Sub
test.doc
