Do I have to do something special to activate any reference to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime library?

In the VBE menus:Tools | References - In the resulting dialog, scroll down to the entry for Microsoft Scripting Runtime. Check it and then click OK. The project now has a reference set to the library. -- Rob http://www.asta51.dsl.pipex.com/webcam/ This message is copyright Robert Bruce and intended for distribution only via NNTP.

Move all files from one directory to another
Rob, First and Foremost, thank you for helping Prema with this post. I wa looking for a similar situation and your code helped me get over th hump. However, your code is easier to understand and works better than mine (i am still learning VBA). I have a question. How would I set up VBA to where the user can select a directory to mov and its new destination? Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance.
