    Help Needed in VB

    Hi,

    I'm new here and it has been several years since I've done any serious VB
    coding. I used to do a lot of VB6 development and have not really touched it
    in about 8 years. .NET is brand new to me as well.

    I need to create a quickie application either in VB6 or preferably VB.NET
    that does the following:

    Reads through a directory of .XLS files reads the contents of 2 cells and
    renames the file based on the contents of those 2 cells.

    In the old day's I'd have whipped this out in a couple of hours, but I've
    discovered that I've forgotten a lot of my VB syntax etc...

    Can any one help by providing me a sample to get me started?

    Thanks

    Craig

    RE: Help Needed in VB

    Google for VB.Net and Excel and you will see lots of examples on how to read
    cells in an excel spreadsheet file. Then use the File Class to copy, rename,
    move, etc the files.
