Excel VBA to rename filesname or folder

[harky]

Hi Any idea why this not working? :D

Sub ChangeInFolder()
Dim OldName As String
Dim NewName As String
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim i As Long
LastRow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row


For i = 1 To LastRow
    OldName = Range("A" & i).Value
    NewName = Range("C" & i).Value
    Name OldName As NewName
    
Next i


Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Try this and see if the message box gives you the correct folders

Sub ChangeInFolder()
    Dim OldName As String
    Dim NewName As String
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Dim i As Long
    LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    For i = 1 To LastRow
        OldName = Range("A" & i)
        NewName = Range("C" & i)
        MsgBox OldName & " to" & vbCr & NewName
        Name OldName As NewName
    Next i
End Sub

PS I was wrong about the backslahes earlier, it does work with those included, my apologies.

yes i using the original one and it is on my pc.

it say run=time error 75
Path/File access error

Don't use the code in post #6 , it's wrong for what you are trying to do. Stick with the original code.

I had error @ Name OldName As NewName

Try this and see if the message box gives you the correct folders

Sub ChangeInFolder()
    Dim OldName As String
    Dim NewName As String
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Dim i As Long
    LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    For i = 1 To LastRow
        OldName = Range("A" & i)
        NewName = Range("C" & i)
        MsgBox OldName & " to" & vbCr & NewName
        Name OldName As NewName
    Next i
End Sub

Make a directory on C:\, say C:\MyTempFolder

then try using C:\MyTempFolder in "A" and C:\MyTempFolderNew in "C" on the first row of your sheet

The code does work.

So after your last comment, are you solved now?

 

[harky]

Great. The 2 means it starts on the second row (you may have headers!) rather than the first row. The message box would have picked that up!
