Problem with Dir "Invalid call or argument" after getting new computer (moving from Windows 7 to 10)

I wanted to separate this issue from my other post that also contained a second issue that was resolved.

This code snippet worked fine in 7 but fails after upgrade to 10. I get "runtime error '5': Invalid call or argument" on fname = Dir:

        oldpath = "\\DSGAIN01\Commercial_Printing\Work Flow\WEEKLY PRESS-DIST REPORTS - COMM\02 JACKSONVILLE\" & BUNIT & "\"
        newpath = "\\DSGAIN01\Commercial_Printing\Work Flow\WEEKLY PRESS-DIST REPORTS - COMM\02 JACKSONVILLE\" & BUNIT & "\OUTSIDE DATE PARAM\"
        fname = Dir(oldpath & AWN)
            
        fnamea = oldpath & AWN
        fnameb = newpath & AWN
            
        If Len(Dir$(fnameb)) > 0 Then
            Kill (fnamea)
            GoTo SKIP
        End If
            
        Do While fname <> ""
            Name oldpath & fname As newpath & fname
            fname = Dir
        Loop

Any idea why?

OK I seem to have fixed it by changing fname = Dir to fname = ""

Will this cause any issues?
