João,

A couple of ways. Easiest would be to use the Windows Script Host's FileSystemObject.

oFSO = CREATEOBJECT("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder("C:\dbaccount2000")
oFolder.Name = "dbaccount2001"

If you don't have access to the WSH, you can use the API's MoveFile() function:

DECLARE INTEGER MoveFile IN Win32API;
   STRING @lpcurrentname, STRING @lpnewname
* lcoldname is the old directory name
* lcnewname is the new directory name
llresult = (MoveFile(@lcoldname, @lcnewname) # 0)

llresult will be .T. if the function succeeds.
