You haven't explained how you're going to know what to change the file name TO.
The macro I gave you will generate a list of files and place it in a sheet
(sheet1)
in column "A".
you can then add a second column to the sheet and supply the new name.
You can then write a macro to go through your list of files.
I would save the original file name as something like fName
and the new file name as NewName
then, use the filesystem object (fso) to check to see if the file exists, then
then use the movefile method:
fso.movefile SourceDir & fName, SourceDir & NewName
