If it's just a one time thing, try opening a command prompt in the desired folder and issuing a REN command, as in ... ren "BLABLA*.*" "BLUBLU*.*" Otherwise doing it in VBscript is messy (unless it just accesses the REN command via script), as in ... strSomePath = "X:\someplace\" strOldMask = strSomePath & "BLABLA*.*" strNewMask = "BLUBLU*.*" with createobject("wscript.shell") .Run "%comspec% /c ren """ strOldMask & """ """ & strNewMask & """", 0, true end with wsh.echo "Done" ___________________ Tom Lavedas
