Move all files from one directory to another

[Guest]

I would like to know what code I can use in my macro to move all .xls files
from P:\new-journals to P:\processed-journals.

Thank you

I would like to know what code I can use in my macro to move all .xls
files from P:\new-journals to P:\processed-journals.

This requires a reference to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime library.

Sub test()
MoveAllFiles "P:\new-journals", "P:\processed-journals"
End Sub

Sub MoveAllFiles(Source As String, Dest As String)

Dim objFS As New FileSystemObject
Dim objSource As Folder
Dim objDest As Folder
Dim objFile As File

On Error GoTo MoveAllFiles_Err:

If objFS.FolderExists(Source) Then

If objFS.FolderExists(Dest) Then

Set objSource = objFS.GetFolder(Source)
Set objDest = objFS.GetFolder(Dest)

For Each objFile In objSource.Files
objFile.Move (objDest.Path & _
Application.PathSeparator & objFile.Name)

Next
Else
Err.Raise vbObjectError + 1001, "", _
"Folder " & Source & " not found."
End If

Else

Err.Raise vbObjectError + 1001, "", _
"Folder " & Source & " not found."

End If

Exit Sub
MoveAllFiles_Err:
With Err
.Raise .Number, "[MoveAllFiles]" & .Source, _
.Description, .HelpFile, .HelpContext
End With
End Sub

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,

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.
