Default Why is xmove not working? Any ideas?

Hi,

I am attempting to use the DOS Shell command xmove to move all files from one folder to another. I t should be pretty straightforward but it isn't working and I am at a bit of a loss to know why?

Here is the sub:


Public Sub MoveFile(sSourceFile As String, sDestFile As String)

Shell "cmd /c xmove /y " & sSourceFile & " " & sDestFile

End Sub

Here are the inputs:

sSourcePath = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\Outputs\*.*"
sDestinationPath = "C:\Users\User\Dropbox (Simulytics)\SOFTWARE\data preparation\c DASHBOARD DATABASE PRODUCTION\Inputs"

and here is the call:

Call MoveFile(sSourcePath, sDestinationPath)

Any ideas?

Kind regards, Mark
