Good morning Deepak. The files I'm trying to save are configuration files for a SIP/IP telephony call server. The server wants to see the file naming convention as just the MAC address of the IP phone, hence the need to drop the file extension.
If I can save the file in my Excel/VBA macro after modifying it, that would be the preferred method. If not, do you know of a way to reach out to a file directory and rename files through a macro?
