You could but why would you want to do that when you can just copy paste it elsewhere?

Shadowmaster,

You can use code like this...

   Dim FileName As String
   FileName = Dir("C:\YourSourceFolder\")
   Do Until Len(FileName) = 0
      FileCopy "C:\YourSourceFolder\" & FileName, "C:\YourDestinationFolder\" & FileName
      FileName = Dir
   Loop
