    You should not delete requests like this. If you got it working it is better to leave your question and post the solution. That way anyone else at a later date can see what the issue was and fix it.

    I believe this is in the charter?

    What did you get working? How did you get it working?

    I'm going to start getting irritated soon.

    OK. I needed to change the name of a file using vb script. My code was


    strDir = "C:\whatever\"

    Set objScript = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    Name strDir & "oldname.classit" As strDir & "newname.class"


    this worked in vb but would not work in vbs. it gave an error at the 'as' saying it should be end of statement.
    I fixed it by changing it to:


    objScript.movefile strDir & "oldname.class", strDir & "newname.class"


    so basically the 'name' function would not work in vbs but the movefile(which renames it for me) would



    sorry about that. I'll have to give the charter another read.(last time was months ago)
