hi all, my company needs to copy several files to a portable drive to be
sent somewhere. my question....in a table i have the file location and name
of all the files i need to transfer. is there an app or an easy way to use
this list to pull all the files automatically? There are over 3,000 files so
i obviously don't want to select the files manually.

TIA
