    How would i rename a file in vb?
    what is the command?
    E.g.
    source file = test.txt
    output file = notatest.txt

    You could try this:
    • Open the file
    • Save the file as different name
    • Close files
    • Delete old file

    Good Luck,

    I think you'll agree that

    Name [old] As [new]

    is simpler, quicker, and neater.
