Tom, the problem I believe, is that she wants it on her desktop. I don't know of an easy way to get a file there. normally, you're told to right click an empty space on the desktop and then choose paste.
what I do is use the %userprofile% variable to then drill down to my desktop dir, depending on the operating system. though, this can be different, and it's not that easy for everyone to manage. I've seen powertoys with a "send to desktop" choice, but the one I tried just had no effect. anyone have any good ideas for getting a file to the desktop?

Hi Martha, Have you tried just opening the file in excel and using the "save as" option and saving it to wherever you want the copy? Hope this does the trick.

I have a file in Microsoft Excel and I want to move it to a folder on my desktop. I have used every way of copying I can think of, and it doesn't do anything but sit there. If it copies any place I can't confirm it. I go through this every two weeks when it comes to making a new time sheet for my Supervisor. I'm about ready to pull my hair out, and there isn't much of that! Many thanks in advance.
