Name Statement

[whg]

Will the 'NAME OLDNAME AS NEWNAME' work across a NT network? It works on local drives fine. I have shared the drive and directory to death on the server, no luck. Tried useing \\Servername\directory (no luck) tried mapping a drive letter to the Drive (nt) root and even to the actual directory that I am tring to rename. What am I doing wrong?

I tried this on an NT network without problems

Name "\\fns10\myshare\test.xxx" As "\\fns3\othershare\test\test.xxx"

it even works accross servers.
What's your problem? what error message do you get?

Thank you for your reply, Ok I have been a victim of my own oversight. Seems that this peoblem was a result in me forgetting to close a connection to a database that was in the folder I was trying to re-name. I traced my code and foubd that I was firing this routine just before the disconnect. After reviewing your reply I noticed the connection was still held. Again thank you for your help..
