Below is the current code I am running. I find myself having more files than I need in the copy location. How can I modify my code to only copy say files modified in 2008?

Thanks!

I did do a search and found 1 thread with 1 response but not answered. I apologize if I've asked a previously answered question.

Ok here's what I found. This oviously copies all files that are older than 1 month.

How can I look at certain file types? Like I want to copy only *.txt files older than 1 month.

I aplogize for not putting the code in brackets. Copied from an email and it was putting in all kind of funky stuff.

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:\Temp\")

Set colFiles = objFolder.Files

dtmMonthAgo = DateAdd("m", -1, Now)

For Each objFile in colFiles
    If objFile.DateLastModified < dtmMonthAgo Then
        objFSO.CopyFile objFile.Path, "C:\Temp\Old\"
    End If
Next
