Hi all,
I am trying to copy files from a folder and subfolders to another destination according to list in first column of a worksheet.
BTW, the list contains full path and file name like this:
HTML:
713It's My Party -Lesley Gore.mp3	F:\A04
714Sleep walk -Santo and Johnny.mp3	F:\A04
Exexcuting this macro gives me a constant error on the red line saying:
PHP:
Run Time Error 70
Permission Denied

Code:
Sub copyfiles()
[COLOR="#00FF00"]'copy files from folder and subfolders to another folders[/COLOR]

Dim m, x As Variant
Dim Copier
Dim FileName As String
Dim FileType As String
Dim FilePath As String

'On Error Resume Next
m = Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Count

Set Copier = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
For x = 1 To m
FileName = Cells(x, 1).Value
FilePath = Cells(x, 2).Value
[COLOR="#00FF00"]'Copier.copyfile "C:\Users\User\Desktop\rivka\" & FileName, [/COLOR]"C:\Users\User\Desktop\songs\"
[COLOR="#FF0000"]Copier.copyfile FilePath & "\" & FileName, "C:\Users\User\Desktop\jjj"[/COLOR]
[COLOR="#00FF00"]'Copier.copyfile FileName, "C:\Users\User\Desktop\jjj"[/COLOR]
Next
MsgBox ("done")
'
End Sub

Any help will be apreciated,
Eli
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
I assume you can copy there manually.?
Code:
You will need a "\" after any path.? You do not have one in "C:\Users\User\Desktop\jjj" yet you put one in FilePath & "" & FileName ?

Last sentence in code tags as site removes the \ otherwise?

Hi welshgasman,
This indeed was the problem -simple slash.
Thank you very much,
Eli :)
