In cell A6 is a new value(Full file path) and in cell A7
is the old value(Full file path).
For instance: Cell A6 = P:\My Stats.xls
and Cell A7= C:\Config\My Stats.xls

What is the code to move the file from the old file path
to the new file path? In this case I will need My
Stats.xls to be moved from C:\Config to P:\.

This can be done by copying the file and deleting the file
in the old path or by just moving it.

It really does not matter I just need the file moved on
the above criteria.

Thank you

Hi Todd

I think this'll work (but not heavy-duty tested):

Sub test()
Name "C:\Temp\Book1.xls" As "D:\Data\Book1.xls"
End Sub

if not then here's the more traditional way; copy and delete:

Sub test2()
Dim FileFrom As String
Dim FileTo As String
FileFrom = "D:\Data\Book1.xls"
FileTo = "C:\Temp\Book1.xls"
FileCopy FileFrom, FileTo
DoEvents
If Dir(FileTo) < "" Then Kill FileFrom
End Sub

Oh sorry, I cant make it static in the code because the
values in both of the cells will change.

Thanx

With no testing at all!

Sub test()
with activesheet
Name .range("a7").value As .range("a6").value
End Sub

if not then here's the more traditional way; copy and delete:

Sub test2()
Dim FileFrom As String
Dim FileTo As String
FileFrom = activesheet.range("a7").value
FileTo = activesheet.range("a6").value
FileCopy FileFrom, FileTo
DoEvents
If Dir(FileTo) < "" Then Kill FileFrom
End Sub

Sure, deliberate twist. I -and many others- rarely post
ready-to-use-with-error-trapping-included code. If you have to read it, consider,
implement and adjust it yourself then you will also hopefully understand and remember it.
Perhaps I can build the whole thing for you, but that's not help. That's work.
