How To Rename Existing File With Date Stamp
May 28, 2012
I understand how to rename a file in vb.net as I use the coding at the end of my post. However, is its possible to rename a file and if the file exists then to rename it and add +1 to the file name? So if I ran the code.
'Run it first time
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile("c: est est.txt", "c: estNewName.txt")
'Run it again but it should add +1 as the file will already exists so it should be "c: estNewName1.txt"
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile("c: est est.txt", "c: estNewName.txt")
Decided rather than rename and +1 it would be better to just date stamp it.
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile("c: est est.txt", "Test" & Format(Date.Now, "ddMMyy") & ".txt")

Does VB9 provide a compile-time date/time stamp function? I know VB6 did not; I'm hoping VB9 does.

This is what I've wrote.. and it fails to rename existing files
For Each file As String In listbox1.Items
IO.File.Copy(file, IO.Path.Combine(fbCopyto.SelectedPath, IO.Path.GetFileName(file)))
While IO.File.Exists(fbCopyto.SelectedPath & file)
file= file & x & ".wav"
x += 1
End While
Next

I have a VB6 application which has been running succesfully for years under XP, however under Vista data loss has been observed.It appears that if the app is run 'as administrator' then it connects to the correct database file, however if the app. is not run as administrator then vista creates a copy of the database (no idea where) - hence I end up with 2 versions of the database.
In fact I can delete the database file entirely and the app. still works fine because vista is using it's own copy - the problem is how do I back up this 'vista copy' when I can't find it (search doesn't find it).

I'm fairly new to ASP.NET & VB.I've been asked to take an existing textbox that is automatically filled with the current date and allow the user to either add a "+" or "-" and a number or a spcific number and convert that into a date.I underdstand the basic concept on how to do this, but I'm running into some problems using the proper commands in order for this to work.The Textbox is called txtDate.What I've tried to do is this:
If txtDate = '+' Or '-' Then
DateAdd("d", txtDate, today)
End If
Here is what the whole thing looks like:

Sub
DateEnter_Click(ByVal

I have a workbook (Workbook1) that runs through some steps using visual basic, which ends up opening another workbook Workbook2). Once Workbook 2 is opened, I need to copy a section of data from it, into Workbook1 int a specific worksheet. I was able to do this by recording a macro, but the challange is, the name of Workbook 1, and Workbook 2, will vary by User. When I created the macro it uses the files as they are currently named. The section of code is below.

I try to rename a file by
file.copy(oldPathName, newPathName)
then
file.delete(oldPathName)
File.copy works.But somehow, a message saying oldPathName is being used by another process, when it tries to delete the old file.

New user here. I've been searching high and low for what I would think is a relatively simple task. I want to rename a file with a wildcard (i.e. FileNamexxx.xls) within a Visual Basic Script. I'll be running this script within Visual Studio.
I will only have 1 file in this folder, so I do not believe a loop is necessary.
Actual FileName is "CellModelHistory1251234.xls"

What piece of code could determine if the new path does already exist, and if not , create a same? For instance on my form I have two TextBoxes i.e. TxtBx1 and TxtBx2.
TxtBx1 presents the complete path and name of an existing file like:
C:UsersFarazDocumentsOfficeTest1ABC.xlsx
TxtBx2 presents a new path and new name for the same like:
C:UsersFarazDocumentsHomeTest2XYZ.xlsx
If there already exists a path C:UsersFarazDocumentsHomeTest2 I want the Button BtnGo to simply move the file to the said folder and be renamed from ABC.xlsx to XYZ.xlsx. However, if such a new path doesn't exist at all, i.e. even there doesn't exist a folder like
C:UsersFarazDocumentsHome how to create the same via SHELL and MD and also a subfolder of
Test2 within the same and then move the file to the newly created path and finally being renamed?

This is something that I'm curious about. Is it possible using OpenFileDialog to have user select, instead of Access Database File,a file with different name and type but keeping Access Database connection string intact ? I have no idea how you would go about attempting this-----I thought it might be better if the user opened a generic file instead of realizing that they were opening a Database File.Can you create Custom file Type to handle situation like this or do declare some type of Variable
