    Copy files from one folder to another folder based on inputs from a table

    Hi all,

    May I have your help to add below functions to the vba please?


    1. if source or destination folder do not exist, column D will remark" no source / destination file found".
    2. For other situations, when a file was copied successfully, the corresponding cell in column D will automatically remark " transferred", however, when copy failed, the corresponding cell in column D will automatically remark "failed"
    3. Where should I put on error resume next if I want the program to run through the last row?

    ****************************************

    Dim fso
    Dim source_file As String
    Dim source_folder As String
    Dim destination_folder As String
    Dim lastrow As Integer

    lastrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count

    For i = 2 To lastrow
    source_file = Cells(i, "a")
    source_folder = Cells(i, "b")
    destination_folder = Cells(i, "c")

    Set fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
    fso.CopyFile (source_folder & source_file), destination_folder, True
    Cells(i, "d") = "successfully transferred"

    Next i

    End Sub

    Hi,

    why not better creating the destination folder if it does not exist ?
    Easy with the Windows function MakeSureDirectoryPathExists as you can see in threads within this forum ...

    Thank you very much, beyond Excel!

    This is what I wanted. And yes, I want to create the new destination folders too. Could you advise again, please?

    In the attached variant, if the destination path does not exist, the folder is created first, and then the file is copied:
