Renaming a folder

[developer155]

I am looking for a way to rename a folder in a given directory using VB. So if I have C:\folder\folder\foldertorename I need to make it
C:\folder\folder\renamedfolder

Can I get a hint on where to look for my answer

thanks

Try this:
[tt]

Name "C:\folder\folder\foldertorename" As "C:\folder\folder\renamedfolder"
[/tt]

OK, are there any objects I need to declare to do this?

thanks

You should try using the file system object.

I am not sure how to use what u suggested. I declared an object of FileSytemObject class. I see methods that copy from folder to folder, but I do not see anything that renames a folder. Something like
Name "C:\folder\folder\foldertorename" As "C:\folder\folder\renamedfolder"

will give an error. Any ideas?

thanks

Name works for me without any extra references, are you sure you have a folder at the location your trying to rename?
if you dont have a folder at "C:\folder\folder\foldertorename" (the path you are using) tehn Name will return a file not found error (53).

The Name statement is a native VB statement and requires no declarations. Check VBHelp for details. You do not need the FileSystemObject to use Name.
