I was trying to help my HR department out real quick with a folder reorg/rename project. My code below works great for all of the pdf files, bur errors out with Microsoft files. Yes, it is a very brute force method, but the idea was a one-time use... Any help would be appreciated.
Code:
Option Explicit
Sub FolderCreate_FileMove_FileRename()
    Dim EmployeeName As String
    Dim EmployeeSearchName As String
    Dim OldFolderPath As String
    Dim NewFileName As String
    Dim OldFileName As String
    Dim strFileName As Variant
    Dim N As Long, J As Long
    Dim OldFolderPathCol As Variant
    Dim OldFolderNameColsArray
    Dim objShell As Variant
    Dim objFolder As Variant
    Dim FileType As Variant
    Dim DoubleDoc As Integer
    
    Dim Test1 As Variant
    Dim Test2 As Variant
    Dim Test3 As String
    Dim FullFileName
    
    OldFolderNameColsArray = Array("F", "H", "J", "L", "N", "P", "R", "T", "V", "X", "Z", "AB", "AD", _
                            "AF", "AH", "AJ", "AL", "AN", "AP", "AR", "AT", "AV", "AX", "AZ", _
                            "BB", "BD", "BF", "BH", "BJ", "BL", "BN", "BP", "BR", "BT", "BV", "BX")
    N = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
    For J = 150 To N
    If Evaluate("MOD(" & J & ",300)") = 0 Then Sheets("Debugger").Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        Sheets("All").Activate
        If Cells(J, "D") = "Duplicate?" Then GoTo NextRecord
        EmployeeName = Cells(J, "B").Text
        EmployeeSearchName = EmployeeSearchNameFunc(EmployeeName)
        For Each OldFolderPathCol In OldFolderNameColsArray
        
            OldFolderPath = Cells(J, OldFolderPathCol).Value
            'If OldFolderPathCol = "BT" Then Sheets("debugger").Activate

                        Cells(J, "E") = "Y"

Excel Facts

Excel Can Read to You
Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
This line is different for the PDF files.
Name FullFileName As "H:\PT Folder Reorganization\PT\" & EmployeeName & "\" & Evaluate("RIGHT(" & Cells(J, OldFolderPathCol).Address & ",LEN(" & Cells(J, OldFolderPathCol).Address & ")-36)") & ".pdf"


Compared to the Microsoft files...
Name FullFileName As "H:\PT Folder Reorganization\PT\" & EmployeeName & "\" & Evaluate("RIGHT(" & OldFolderPath & ",LEN(" & Cells(J, OldFolderPathCol).Address & ")-36).doc")


I would guess the error is the path is not extracted correctly for the Microsoft files. It's hard to say without knowing the nature of the data. It looks like you may have a parenthesis in the wrong place?

Also note; both Right and Len are VBA commands. You could extract the path from the cell values without the need to evaluate a formula. I think this is the equivalent without EVALUATE
Name FullFileName As "H:\PT Folder Reorganization\PT\" & EmployeeName & "\" & Right(OldFolderPath, Len(Cells(J, OldFolderPathCol) - 36)) & ".doc"

Thanks for the tip, all this time with those obnoxious Evaluate statements…

Good catch with the differences from pdf, I have definitely been too immersed. The “FileType” Is pulling correctly and the module continues into the then statement, it just errors out with the actually renaming portion. I will clean up without the evaluate statements and see if it becomes obvious….

It had something to do with my Len statement erroring out. I never would have caught it if I hadn’t gotten rid of the Evaluate statements. I replaced the line with the following:
Code:
                        ElseIf FileType = "Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document" Then
                            FullFileName = OldFolderPath & "\" & OldFileName & ".doc"
                            Name FullFileName As "H:\PT Folder Reorganization\PT\" & EmployeeName & "\" & Right(Cells(J, OldFolderPathCol).Text, Len(Cells(J, OldFolderPathCol).Text) - 36) & ".doc"

Thank you Alphafrog!
