Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Hi
Assuming the destination directory already exists.

Name "C:testtest.xls" As "C:test.xls"

Hi Matt
I do not know how to work with files in Office 97.
Do a file search on your computer for a file called scrrun.dll. Should be in system folder. Microsoft Scripting Runtime
If you have it, I can help you.
If not then someone else will...

Try this

Sub MoveFiles()
Dim fso As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'creates the destination directory if it does not exist
fso.MoveFolder "C:Current", "C:Saved"
End Sub
