Default Change names of files in a folder to match names in Excel Column

Hi,

I currently have a folder of word documents which have generic name
i.e. 040201-1126.doc, 040201-1127.doc and so on, but I need to chang
the files names to match those on our system.

In column a in excel I have a list of the current file names and i
column b I have a corresponding list of what I need the file name
changed too. So from 040201-1126.doc need changed to OHEC1100.doc etc.

I have good experience with Excel, but not so much with VB. I can writ
short macros, and have discovered a lot by recording a new macro fo
various events and looking at the code. At the moment thought I can'
really deal with files and file names.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as it will save me lots of tim
this way rather than editing the file names manually as we have 40 o
so new files coming out each week.

Regards,

Mark
