    Name Statement

    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?

    Re: Name Statement

    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..
