The code below works with renaming workbooks, however it also moves them as well.

Is there a way to modify the code to make a copy of the workbook instead of moving it?

Thanks much in advance!

Code:
Sub RenameTesting()


Dim OldName1, NewName1

'Work books based on cell values below
OldName1 = [F10]: NewName1 = [C10]

'Renames workbooks and moves workbooks
Name OldName1 As NewName1

End Sub

How about
Code:
   Dim Fso As Object
   Set Fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
   Fso.CopyFile OldName1, NewName1
