I have a call accounting package that creates call reports. The only problem is that the report is always the same name. Well, as you guessed I'm lazy! So, I needed a way to rename a file and use the creation date in the files name. Here is a script that will rename a file based on its creation date and then move it to an archive folder.

strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set FileList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("ASSOCIATORS OF {Win32_Directory.Name='I:\Call Reports'} Where "& "ResultClass = CIM_DataFile") '"I:\Call Reports" should be changed to where the file currently resides. For Each objFile In FileList strDate = Left(objFile.CreationDate, 8) strNewName = objFile.Drive & objFile.Path & "Daily Call Report " & strDate & "." & "DOC" strNameCheck = Replace(strNewName, "\", "\\")
i = 1 Do While True Set colFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Cim_Datafile Where Name = '" & strNameCheck & "'") If colFiles.Count = 0 Then errResult = objFile.Rename(strNewName) Exit Do Else i = i + 1 strNewName = objFile.Drive & objFile.Path & "Daily Call Report " & strDate & "." & "DOC" 'Use the line below if you need to append a number to the end of a file if multiple files have the 'same creation date andMake sure you comment out the line above 'strNewName = objFile.Drive & objFile.Path & "Daily Call Report " & strDate & "_" & i & "." & "DOC" strNameCheck = Replace(strNewName, "\", "\\") End If Loop Next Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.MoveFile "I:\Call Reports\*.DOC" , "I:\Call Reports\2006 call reports" ----------COPY EVERYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE----------
