Default Copy user selected files to new folder.

Here is one way. Be careful of the file extension. If you have them visible
on your system you do not need it in the destination path. It will be part
of the file name.


For Each vrtSelectedItem In .SelectedItems
Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fName = Fso.GetFileName(vrtSelectedItem)
MsgBox fName
FileCopy vrtSelectedItem, MyPath & "\" & fName & ".xls"
'<<Caution

Next vrtSelectedItem

I know I'm missing a critical piece but can't figure it out. How do I get
just the name of the file they selected (without path)?

Sub CopyFilesMacro()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Sheets("Input").Select
MyPath = Range("B2").Value

MsgBox ("As soon as you click the OK button, a Browse Dialog box will " _
& "pop up. Use it to choose the files you want to copy to the
location shown " _
& "in cell B2 of the Input sheet.")

Dim fd As FileDialog

Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)

Dim vrtSelectedItem As Variant

With fd

If .Show = -1 Then

For Each vrtSelectedItem In .SelectedItems

FileCopy vrtSelectedItem, MyPath & "\" &
vrtSelectedItem.Name & ".xls"

Next vrtSelectedItem
Else
End If
End With

Set fd = Nothing
End Sub
