VBA to move JPGs from sub-folders to destination folder using a list

[binar]

Fellow Forum Members,
Here is my hypothetical example to keep it all simple. Let's say I have around 1,500 photos located within the 5 sub-folders in the 2018 folder shown below:

C:\PHOTOS
└───2018
├───2018-01
├───2018-02
├───2018-03
├───2018-04
└───2018-05


Now let's say I also have an Excel365 list of 200 JPG file names I want to have physically moved (not copied) from the 5 sub-folders shown above over to the "Favorite_Photos" destination folder location in the path shown below:

C:\PHOTOS
└───Favorite_Photos

Below is a VBA code example I found online and it does not do what I need it to do. I need my VBA code to search the sub-folders for JPG file names from the list in a drill down manner. It also copies the files and does not subtract them from the source sub-folders which is not good for me.

I am not a VBA coder, therefore I would be very appreciative if somebody in this community can be so kind to modify the VBA code below so it works as I described above.

Additionally, is there an open source Windows10 software app that can move files using a control file list? Again, any help will be greatly appreciated.

' LOOP THROUGH COLUMN "B" TO PICK THE FILES.

Range("C" & CStr(iRow)).Value = "Does Not Exists"
Range("C" & CStr(iRow)).Font.Bold = True
Else
Range("C" & CStr(iRow)).Value = "On Hand"
Range("C" & CStr(iRow)).Font.Bold = False

If Trim(sDestinationPath) <> "" Then
Dim objFSO
Set objFSO = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")

' CHECK IF DESTINATION FOLDER EXISTS.

iRow = iRow + 1 ' INCREMENT ROW COUNTER.
