>Is there an alternate way to 'Rename' a file other than Rename command? I need somthing that will return a value as to wheather it worked or not, or haow to trap for errors and return a message to user. I have error trapping that logs the error and returns control backto the program but the user never knows the routine failed. This happens when the renamed from file is open or the rename file to already exists.

You can use MoveFile WIn API. See Re: Rename a file long file name from lower to upper case Message #801674
