Hello, i have created multiple folder so I can
orginise my files. The files are all excel sheets
and are named smit14.xls, abbo10.xls etc.....
The folders are the same names excel sheets
however they are in a directory like this:
h:\PM\Pfiles\A\Abbot10\ or
h:\PM\Pfiles\S\smit14\

what i need is to be able to move all the
current excel files which are currently sitting in
one folder to their assigned folder
