Hello,
I've been trying to write code in Excel 2003 to change the name of a closed file. This is to prevent a new version of a form from overwriting the old file. I used the code provided by Tom Ogilvy back in 2004 (in addition to another function whose author name I don't currently have handy), but every time I try to run the macro, I get an error message that the file is not found. An example of my code is shown below: MyState, MyAgyNum, MyYear and MyWorkbook have been previously defined via userform. ' File name. sName = "S:\Dept\GROUP\CITY\STATE\Auto Agency Reports\" & MyState & " Auto Reports\" & MyAgyNum & "\" & MyYear & "\VERSION\" & MyWorkbook & ".xls" If Dir(sName) < "" Then ' Get properties with Function: File_Created_Info. MyCreated = File_Created_Info("S:\Dept\GROUP\CITY\STATE\Auto Agency Reports\" & MyState & " Auto Reports\" & MyAgyNum & "\" & MyYear & "\VERSION\" & MyWorkbook & ".xls") ' Identify Date and Time. MyDate = Left(MyCreated, InStr(MyCreated, " ") - 1) MyTime = Format(Right(MyCreated, Len(MyCreated) - InStr(MyCreated, " ")), "hh:mm;@") ' Format time for file name. MyTime = Left(MyTime, 2) & "." & Right(MyTime, 2) ' Identify file to change. oldfile = "S:\Dept\GROUP\CITY\STATE\Auto Agency Reports\" & MyState & " Auto Reports\" & MyAgyNum & "\" & MyYear & "\VERSION\" & MyWorkbook & ".xls" ' Identify if existing file created on current date. If Format(Date, "m-d-yy") = MyDate Then NewFile = "S:\Dept\GROUP\CITY\STATE\Auto Agency Reports\" & MyState & " Auto Reports\" & MyAgyNum & "\" & MyYear & "\VERSION\" & MyWorkbook & " (" & MyDate & " " & MyTime & ").xls" Else: NewFile = "S:\Dept\GROUP\CITY\STATE\Auto Agency Reports\" & MyState & " Auto Reports\" & MyAgyNum & "\" & MyYear & "\VERSION\" & MyWorkbook & " (" & MyDate & ").xls" End If ' This is what fails every time.<<<<<<< Name oldfile As NewFile Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. |
