I have a list of names and the code number in column A1 to B10. sometimes, less than 10 names are also there.

e.g.:
John254689
James245682
Alisha458213

How can have a folder created with these names and codes.
Folders should look like this
John - 254689
James - 245682 ...

There is a file saved in a particular folder, this file should be copied and pasted in each of the new folder that gets created.
Please assist.
 
In the above code before for...next loop

VBA Code:
    Dim strFile As String
    strFile = "D:\Test VBA\000.xlsx"    ' modify this one
  
    Dim fso As Object
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  
    Dim oFile As Object
    Set oFile = fso.GetFile(strFile)

Inside the for...next loop right before "Next":

VBA Code:
    If not fso.FileExists(fso.BuildPath(c00, oFile.Name)) Then oFile.Copy fso.BuildPath(c00, oFile.Name)

Right before "End Sub"

VBA Code:
    Set oFile = Nothing
    Set fso = Nothing
this works fine. thank you

It should be something like this:

VBA Code:
If not fso.FileExists(fso.BuildPath(c00, fso.GetBaseName(c00 & "." & fso.GetExtensionName(oFile))) Then
    oFile.Copy fso.BuildPath(c00, fso.GetBaseName(c00 & "." & fso.GetExtensionName(oFile))
End If
