Hi, I have a macro I am working on and would like to get some help. I am trying to copy files from one folder to another folder based on a partial file name.

Here is the code I am currently using. It copies the entire contents of the folder (not what I want).

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
 'copy files into folder
Dim FSO As Object
Dim sourcePath As String
Dim DestinationPath As String
Dim fileExtn As String

sourcePath = Sheet1.Cells(121, 9).Value
DestinationPath = Sheet1.Cells(110, 13).Value

fileExtn = "*.mpf"

If Right(sourcePath, 1) <> "\" Then
sourcePath = sourcePath & "\"
End If

Set FSO = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
If FSO.folderExists(sourcePath) = False Then
    MsgBox sourcePath & "does not exist"
    Exit Sub
End If

If FSO.folderExists(DestinationPath) = False Then
    MsgBox DestinationPath & "does not exist"
    Exit Sub
End If

FSO.copyfile Source:=sourcePath & fileExtn, Destination:=DestinationPath
MsgBox "Your files have been copied"

End Sub

Here are the file name examples:

8HB0_RB_10.mpf --> Folder 1
8HB1_RB_10.mpf --> Folder 2
8HB2_RB_10.mpf --> Folder 3
8HB3_RB_10.mpf --> Folder 4
8HB4_RB_10.mpf --> Folder 5

These are located in a common folder and will be copied to another folder by the first 4 characters ex: "8HB0."

Ok, make this change
Code:
fileExtn = "[COLOR=#ff0000]8HB0[/COLOR]*.mpf"
