    End If
End Function

Sub move_file()

    Dim filenm As String
    Dim newfolder As String
    Dim newpath As String

    ' new path
    ' add \ at the end of folder
    If VBA.Right(newfolder, 1) <> "\" Then newfolder = newfolder & "\"
    ' new path of file
    newpath = newfolder & VBA.Right(filenm, Len(filenm) - InStrRev(filenm, "\"))
    
    ' add some control check to avoid crashes
    
    ' check if file exists which we want to move
    If file_exists(filenm) <> "Exists" Then
        MsgBox "File does not exists so can not be moved ", vbInformation, "Note:"
        Exit Sub
