Default Is it possible to run DOS commands in Excel?


Hi hce

Look up help for [Name Statement]

From help

Name Statement Example
This example uses the Name statement to rename a file. For purposes o
this example, assume that the directories or folders that are specifie
already exist. On the Macintosh, “HD:” is the default drive name an
portions of the pathname are separated by colons instead o
backslashes.

Dim OldName, NewName
OldName = "OLDFILE": NewName = "NEWFILE" ' Define file names.
Name OldName As NewName ' Rename file.

OldName = "C:\MYDIR\OLDFILE": NewName = "C:\YOURDIR\NEWFILE"
Name OldName As NewName ' Move and rename file
