Skipping rows in loop

I have a macro that renames files based on the contents of two ranges.
i.e 'Column A' contains the original name and 'Column E' will be the new name.
When I run the macro it crashes if I haven't renamed an item in the 'Column E'.

Is there a way to skip a cell if it is the same in both ranges?


Thanks

VBA Code:
Sub RenameFiles()

Dim myPath As String
myPath = Sheet1.[address1]

r = 2
Do Until IsEmpty(Cells(r, 1)) And IsEmpty(Cells(r, 5))
    Name myPath & Cells(r, 1).Value As myPath & Cells(r, 5).Value
    r = r + 1
Loop
MsgBox "Successful"

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Try this.
VBA Code:
Sub RenameFiles()
Dim myPath As String
    myPath = Sheet1.[address1]

    r = 2

    Do Until IsEmpty(Cells(r, 1)) And IsEmpty(Cells(r, 5))
        If Cells(r,1).Value <> Cells(r,5).Value Then
            Name myPath & Cells(r, 1).Value As myPath & Cells(r, 5).Value
        End If
        r = r + 1
    Loop 

    MsgBox "Successful"

End Sub

Thanks @Norie, that worked.
