vbscript, Path not found error??

Path not found error??

Author	Message
Charles Hs #1 / 3	Path not found error?? Hello, I'm having a strange error when I try to rename a folder using the .folder property. When I run the following code: --- ' To rename a folder Dim fso, folder1 Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set folder1 = fso.GetFolder("c:\chaz") msgbox folder1.Name folder1.Name = "chazrenamed" msgbox folder1.Name ' *** WSCript.quit --- the WSH will return a runtime error stating "Path not found" at the second msgbox folder1.Name line above (the *** line). And then, when I then open up Windows explorer to look at the folder, the folder has not been renamed! This is a particularly odd problem because I only run into it on certain computers, and not others. When I copy the exact same code over to a computer next to me, also running Win98, it works fine, but on my computer here, it doesn't. Anyone have any ideas? Charles

Charles Hs #2 / 3	Path not found error?? Ahh! FYI -- just to let any of you know, in case you're having the same problem: I've solved the problem by installing WSH 2.0. Apparently there was some bug in the previous version of WSH which prevented it from working properly.

Mark L. Ferguso #3 / 3	Path not found error?? My guess would be that a folder named chazrenamed already exists -- Mark L.
