How do I rename this string?

[madddog]

Evening Gentlemen,

I have a batch process program that I am creating, and I have hit a wall. I have a string that I created from a listbox and I need to rename it so the file will save as "samename" but with a .doc extension.

'Here is the string with filename
List2.list(cnr)

newname = (List2.List(cnr)_______.doc

Set swApp = Model.SaveAs2(newname, 0, True, True)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Just use a & or + inbetween the name of the document and the extension.

tried using this:

newname as Object
newname = (list2.list(cnr) + ".doc")

I get a "object variable or with block variable not set" Error Message

anything else to convert this please!!!!!

not sure of your code i have something similar i wrote

Filename = Filename & ".doc"

that DOES work

that error means that the object variable "newname" does not exist.

Copy the link below, past it into browser.
When there download the file called junk.exe
When done downloading, double click on it and it well extract itself.

In there is a test project that will demonstrate how to do what i think you are trying to do.
