<p>Renames a disk file, directory, or folder.</p>
<h2 id="syntax">Syntax</h2>
<pre><code class="language-vbnet">Name oldpathname As newpathname</code></pre>
<ul>
<li><code>oldpathname</code>: Required. String expression that specifies the existing file name and location. May include directory or folder, and drive.</li>
<li><code>newpathname</code>: Required. String expression that specifies the new file name and location. May include directory or folder, and drive.
  Cannot specify a different drive from the one specified in <code>oldpathname</code>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="remarks">Remarks</h2>
<ul>
<li>The <code>Name</code> statement renames a file and moves it to a different directory or folder, if necessary</li>
<li><code>Name</code> can move a file across directories or folders, but both <code>oldpathname</code> and <code>newpathname</code> must be on the same drive</li>
<li>Using <code>Name</code> on an open file produces an error. You must close an open file before renaming it</li>
<li><code>Name</code> arguments can include relative or absolute paths</li>
<li>The <code>Name</code> statement can also rename directories or folders</li>
<li>If <code>newpathname</code> already exists, an error occurs</li>
<li>Wildcard characters (* and ?) are not allowed in either <code>oldpathname</code> or <code>newpathname</code></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="examples">Examples</h2>
<pre><code class="language-vbnet">&#x27; Rename a file
Name &quot;OLDFILE.TXT&quot; As &quot;NEWFILE.TXT&quot;
&#x27; Move and rename a file
Name &quot;C:\Data\Report.doc&quot; As &quot;C:\Archive\OldReport.doc&quot;
&#x27; Rename a directory
Name &quot;C:\OldFolder&quot; As &quot;C:\NewFolder&quot;
&#x27; Move file to different directory (same drive)
Name &quot;C:\Temp\Test.dat&quot; As &quot;C:\Data\Test.dat&quot;
&#x27; Using variables
Dim oldName As String, newName As String
oldName = &quot;File1.txt&quot;
newName = &quot;File2.txt&quot;
Name oldName As newName</code></pre>
