    changing file names

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help?

    A while ago someone was very helpful in answering a question for me on here. I needed a macro which looked at the file names in column A and changed them to the corresponding file name in column b.

    The macro is a bit temperamental and now doesn't really seem to work at all. I think its something to do with the way the names in column b are presented i.e. using certain numbers or letters seems to mess it up. (the problem is that excel claims the file name already exists after changing about 10-15 names)

    The code is below, if anyone has any idea on this it would be a great help. I've put example file names below the code.

    many thanks.



    Sub RenameMyData()
    Dim oFSO As Object
    Dim oFolder As Object
    Dim oFile As Object
    Dim c As Range
    Dim sOld As String, sNew As String, sExt As String

    Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder("C:\TOCS\")
    For Each oFile In oFolder.Files
    sOld = Left(oFile.Name, InStr(1, oFile.Name, ".") - 1)
    sExt = Right(oFile.Name, Len(oFile.Name) - InStr(1, oFile.Name, "."))
    On Error Resume Next
    Set c = Cells.Find(what:=sOld, LookIn:=xlValues)
    On Error GoTo 0
    If Not c Is Nothing Then
    oFile.Name = c.Offset(0, 1).Value & "." & sExt
    End If
    Next


    Eg File Name:

    Col A __________________ Col B
    NewLink __________________ LS03101
    Pevion __________________ LS03102
    Interpharm ___________________ LS03103
