    Student names in column save as text file to folder on c: Drive

    This one is over my head, I would appreciate help

    In column A I have a list of Student Names (500 students) which I would like saved as text files.
    STUDENT 1
    STUDENT 2
    STUDENT 3

    In folder named Student on C: drive

    STUDENT 1.txt
    STUDENT 2.txt
    STUDENT 3.txt

    I do know that Excel VBA is the only way this can be done

    Hello excelaron,

    So you want to create a txt file with student names from column A. Are these going to be BLANK txt files?
