Does anybody know how can I change extension of a file via VB 5.0?
Or does anybody know how can I change extension at all in Win 95 or DOS?

You will hear a lot about it.

I'm not quite sure what you mean but try renaming the file.

Name SOURCE as DESTINATION

Example:

Name MyFile.Txt as MyFile.Exe

What SteveS said was right, for example to rename MyFile.JPG to MyFile.BMP:

Name "MyFile.JPG" To "MyFile.BMP"

Or do you want to convert the JPEG to a bitmap?

I thought just about changing the name, but if you know how to convert .ART files to .BMP files I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks
