Useful VBA Macros for Excel and Word
A compendium of some of my old VBA macros from the most annoying and simple ones to those that defy you at the end of a long day. I had to build the macros to deal with the demands of my job to manipulate strings, cells and files and this blog is a way to sort the most useful macros scattered all over my disks. I am not a professional programmer though, so I will accept absolutely no liability for any damage!

Rename a file with VBA
Sub RenameOneFile()
'___________________________________________________________
'
'This Excel VBA macro renames the file extension on
'one existing file on your hard disc
'You can modify it to suit other changes in filenames
'Be careful, this is very powerful and it will not
'stop to ask you to confirm the filename change
'This quick macro works in Excel
'___________________________________________________________
'
Dim PreviousFileName As String
Dim NewFileName As String
'assume cell A1 contains the filename only, without extension
'============================================================
PreviousFileName = "C:\Temp\" & Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).Value & ".txt"
NewFileName = "C:\Temp\" & Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).Value & ".TXT"
Name PreviousFileName As NewFileName
End Sub

You may comment or show me other VBA tricks, but don't rest assured I'll always reply because I only have 24 hours in a day's hard work, and only a few minutes a week to update this blog... I'll try my best though...
