If you are running part of the process in Access why not rename the file in code as well? Something like this code snippet I use to rename files in one of my programs. Jim Hale strFilename = GetNamePart_TSB(strpath2) 'get old file name 'create new filename strFileSave = ReplaceString(strpath2, ".txt", ".dmp", False) strFilename = GetNamePart_TSB(strFileSave) 'get name of new file strDir(2) = Pathnamefile("CLPdata") 'get directory to move to strPathnew = strDir(2) & strFilename 'path where file will be move to Name strpath2 As strFileSave 'rename file If FileExists(strPathnew) = True Then Kill strPathnew Name strFileSave As strPathnew 'move renamed text file to new sub dir -----Original Message----- From: Penn 227 [mailto:penn227 at yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, May 02, 2005 7:43 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] OT: Create .bat in WinXP Pro Jim, I'm sorry but I don't understand your comment. This is running entirely outside of Access. The reason it's related to Access is that my error handler checks to see if that file is present under the name of DevFile.txt. If it isn't present thne the user is prompted to print the error message and it is written to a log file. If it is present, then a msgbox offers to debug the code. It's a tip I got from reading Access Security Ideas from an Experienced Developer (http://www.vb123.com/toolshed/05_access/accesssprotectionideas.htm). I've found it to be an excellent error handler since all the others I've seen don't give you a clue about where the runtime error actually occurred.
