I just re-tested using xp home and xl2002 and it MOVED the file as it
should.
I moved a file from c:\personal to c:\a
I assume that both directories do exist.

thanks....this indeed works and creates the file in the
new directory....but....it retains the original file in
the original directory....something I want to avoid so
that it does not get processed again the next time the
project is run

Any further thoughts?

Hello all

I have created a project to open all files in a folder,
perform some work with the data in the file(s), set the
file save property as true and close the file.

I now want to move the file out of that folder into
another. I just cannot get my head round the code I need
to do that.

Sample of my code attached....can any one provide
the '????????? line which is moving the file out of the
folder into a different folder.

Much obliged for your attention

Regards

Michael Bond

Sub WorkOnFile()

Dim fs, f, f1, fc, s
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFolder("X:\******** *******\")
Set fc = f.Files


For Each f1 In fc

'(Various code here which opens file and carries
out some work then...)

ActiveWorkbook.Saved = True
ActiveWorkbook.Close
