niton,
yes thank you this is working. Alas I have more questions.
I'm struggling with changing this line:
For Each objItem In Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection

I either need to change the above line of code as I need to set the path for the folder to move emails from or I need to add a line of code before it to select the folder to move the emails from.

my second challenge is to be able to obtain the subject line and put it into a variable.
I think this is the path ("inbox").Folders("testin").Folders("testout")

can you help me further?

thank you
