I recently posted a message about how I can rename a file using an asp script. The answer must have been on the old message forum - but I think it involved using the copy command.

Can anyone help.

Thanks loads.

Nathan

Thanks MZ that works great - I owe you a beer.

I have noticed though that if you try moving (to rename it) a file that does not exsist, then an error is thrown. Is there a way of first checking if the file exsits first?

Thanks
