Default Renaming files in a directory

How do I rename the files in a directory? I have many reports in directory I
can loop through each file but how do i rename it? I have an input box to
assign a NewFileName. I want to keep the date suffix and change the first
part of the filename. This jams in the last line attempts. Please help. I
feel like i'm shooting inthe dark now.

If Right(myName, 3) = "xls" Then
OldFileName = myPath & myName
NameDate = Right(myName, 12)
NewFileName = (myPath & NewName & " " & NameDate)
Workbooks(OldFileName).SaveAs (NewFileName)
'Workbooks(OldFileName).Name = (NewFileName)

TIA
Candyman
