Hi,
I am having a requirement to transfer some files from one location to another location,let the location be named as 'B'.
Inside 'B', four folders are there , and based on some requirments,the files get placed in anyone of the folder.

For example,let these are the 4 folders in the location 'B',
Folder 1 - Task1-Daily
Folder 2 - Task1-Weekly
Folder 3- Task2-Daily
Folder 4- Task2-Weekly

And the files(mostly excel sheets) who's names starts with Task1-Daily_XXXXXXX.xls are placed in Folder 1,
similarly Task2-Weekly_XXXXXXX.xls are placed in folder 4. These will be similar case for folder 2 and 3.

Once the files are transferred, i need to open a word document, and it contains 4 sections like Task1_Daily files, Task1_Weekly files,Task2_Daily files and Task2_Weekly files.


So finally my requirement is to write a excel macro which does the following two condition:
1.Transfer the files from one place to 'B' location,by reading the file name and placing it in correct folder.
2.Open the MS word,under each section, add the names of the file copied at the last.

for ex,

Task1_Daily Files:
-> Task1_Daily_01XXXX.xls
->Task1_Daily_02XXXXX.xls

Task2_Weekly Files:
->Task2_Weekly_01XXX.xls


This macro should read the name of the file,and if the name is like Task1_Daily_03XXXX.xls,then it should go to 'Task1_Daily Files' section, and append the file name after 'Task1_Daily_02XXXXX.xls' file name.
