Darren,

Off the tope of my head use the following:

Dim strFile As String

strFile = Dir(myCoolCSVfile.csv, vbHidden) ' Put the full path before the
filename
If (strFile<>"" ) then
     Name myCoolCSVfile.csv As YYMMDDHHMMSS.csv    ' Put the full path before
the filename and new file name
Endif

' Your routine to put the new file into C:\MyCoolFolder

Hi all

I have a file that will be always named the same - EG myCoolCSVfile.csv

It will be dumped into a folder...say C:\MyCoolFolder at random times

I need some code to Check the C:\myCoolFolder to see if the file
myCoolCSVfile.csv file exists in the folder - and if it does to rename it to
YYMMDDHHMMSS.csv

Where YY = Year MM = Month DD = Day etc etc

Does anyone have anything that might suit?

Many thanks in advance

Darren
