Macro problem

Hi,

I have a macro that moves particular files after reload, when I manually define the destination path it works fine but when I define the destination path based on the value of a variable it doesn't move the loaded files to the destination path..

Here's the code:

Function FuncMove(file)

SET dest = ActiveDocument.Variables("vDestination")

          destination = dest.GetContent.String -> macro doesn't work if i use this

          'dest = "D:\TAENA KA NOEL\Multi Sheet\LoadedWorkbooks\"  -> when I use this the function works fine

          SET filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

          If filesys.FileExists(file) Then

                    SET fsoFile = filesys.GetFile(file)

                       fsoFile.Move destination

          End If

End Function

Use something like

activedocument.variable("dest").setcontent  vDestination.getcontent.string

instead of doing like

SET dest  =  ActiveDocument.Variables("vDestination")

         

  destination = dest.GetContent.String
