[AccessD] A2003: rename a file via vba

Hi Stuart
Many thanks
When I copy and paste the line below it errors, then goes red and tells me
it is expecting
Compile Error: Expected: As
The Compiler then goes to the space after the first "C:\mydB.mdb"

Any thoughts??

Darren

The "Name" command has been part of VBA since the year dot and was part of
most flavours of Basic since the very early days. Just use:

Name "C:\mydB.mdb"  "C:\mydb" & "_" & Format(Date,"dd/mm/yyyy") & ".mdb"
