I had trouble attaching a file the other day myself. If you can not do it, try breaking your needs into a few single lines in outline format. Feel free to upload the file to a site like box.net if needed.

I know that we can help you. Mostly, we just need to make sure that we fit the solution to your needs.

try this code (no zip and no password)

Sub a()
LR = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For j = 2 To LR
  spath = Cells(j, 1)
  sfname = Cells(j, 2)
  dfname = Cells(j, 4)
  dpath = Cells(j, 3)
  If Range("H" & j) <> "" Then dfname = Range("H" & j)
  If Range("J" & j) = "Yes" Then
    Name spath & sfname As dpath & dfname
    'MsgBox "Name " & spath & sfname & " As " & dpath & dfname
  Else
    'MsgBox "FileCopy " & spath & sfname & "," & dpath & dfname
    FileCopy spath & sfname, dpath & dfname
  End If
Next
End Sub

That's Fantastic and looks great and will help no end with a manual run, can this be converted to run as vbs looking at the excel file that contains the info and runnning this script.I want to use windows scheduler to run this task several times a day.One more question, if it does not find the file name, does it move on to the next?

[jamesttait]

Just tested and brill, just one thing, if the file name does not exist, i get an error, need it to bypass that file and move on, as the files will appear at different times of the day.

Sub a()
