text: i need short cut how to move files that is included in my excel filename list? is there a faster way or a software that is capable of doing this?  i want to move pictures from a folder containing 34,000 images, but only the ones that are included on my excel file. there are 15,000 filenames on the excel file that i want to move to a different folder. how do i do this fast?  your help is greatly appreciated! you're going to have to create a macro to do this.  if you know a little vba, you can figure it out. this web page has most of what you need.  look at the part that says "move all files (or of a specific file type) from one folder into another folder". you will have to nest a do loop in the code to move each file.  something like this (assuming filenames are in column a):  original code: fso.movefile (sfol & "&#92;*.*"), dfol ' change "&#92;*.*" to "&#92;*.xls" to move  nested code: range ("a1").activate do until activecell.value = ""    fso.movefile (sfol & "&#92;" & activecell.value), dfol    activecell.value.offet(1,0). activate loop  i haven't tested the code, so you'll have to do some testing.  hope this helps.
