Copy selected files

Dear friends, need your valuable help,


Case1:
within an access database I store the filelocation, e.g.
C:\folder1\photo1.jpg, C:\Anotherfolder\subfolder1\movie.mpg... etc

Using a query I select some of those records (containing the primary key of
each file, its location, etc.
I need to run a code in order to copy those selected records/files from the
query and copy them into C:\SelectedFiles, after deleting every single file
located there.

Case2:
Using the same structure of the above database I have all files stored in
C:\folder2 and I need, as above to copy some of those files into another
folder (using the same procedure as described above).

How can I accomplish those tasks?

Thanking you so much in advance,

GeorgeCY

You didn't mention do you need code for above or just idea?

Idea, case 1:
Code VBA to open recordset based on your query and loop through
records. Use command FileCopy(source, destination) to copy images. Use
command Kill(PathName) to delete files.

Case 2:
See case 1 :) without using Kill command.
