Dim oFS As FileSystemObject

' Copying Files
FileCopy "c:\temp\IamAStar.xls", "c:\temp\backup\IamAStar.xls"

    Thank you Shasur,

    I've been looking for a concise example of how to move a file using VBA for about a week now and then I found your examples.

    They were very easy to use and thank you for noting which references were required to run the code.

    Legendary!
