Hi,

You can use the Dir() function to get the name of the file, so you can rename it.

This simple test worked for me:

Name "C:\yourfolderpath\" & Dir("C:\yourfolderpath\") AS "C:\yourfolderpath\test.jpg"

If you want to use part of the original name in the new name, will have to parse the file name returned by the Dir() function.
