File.Move(OriginalFilePathAndName, NewFilePAthAndName)

don't you just need to include System.IO namespace?

>>i'm trying to rename through my VB code

But I thought the questioner is trying to do this in VB(and not VB.NET)

Try this article:

[url]http://www.aspfaqs.com/aspfaqs/ShowFAQ.asp?FAQID=208[/url]

It states there is no rename() method but there is a move() method you can use and demonstrates its use in VB.net and C#.

Hope that helps!

PS - Can you even use VB6 in an ASP.NET framework?
