Default How can I rename a Workbook?

Is there a procedure to change the name of a workbook once it's in Excel?
Thanks,

Mac, you can change the name in windows explorer or just do a file, save as
when you have the workbook open and save it as another name

Mac,

The name of a workbook is its file name, so you can't change the
name without changing the file name. In VBA you can do this with

Sub AAA()
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs filename:="theNewName.xls"
End Sub

or you can close the file and change the name in Windows
Explorer.
