rename file

Hi
I'm a c++ programmer and have never used VBA.
Is it possible to use the stored filename in a word file to 'batch rename' a
whole load of word files that have lost their correct filename and directory
position?

cheers
Rob

Hi Rob,

The VBA command to rename a file is the Name command, is has the format

Name x As y

where x and y are both strings, and repesent the filename or full pathname
of the file.

The command can be used to move files beteen folders provided that the
source and destination folders are both on the same logical drive.
