Hi,

Is the a way to rename the directory the open excel file is in, using a macro?
ex: C:\test\test.xls to C:\new\test.xls using a macro in test.xls

Thanks
 
Hi Harvey,

You can use the builtin Name function

name "C:\MyTest\Volker.xls" aS "c:\MYtEST\Volker1.xls"

Harvey,

Assuming that the destination folder exists, use

Name "C:\Test\Test.xls" As "C:\New\Test.xls"

If the folder does not exist, use MkDir to create the folder
first:

MkDir "C:\New"
