   renaming a file   
   17 May 08 10:48:25   
   
   From: whoknows@hal-pc.org   
      
   After I export a db file to a text file, I tried to rename it as a   
   unique file. Since this process is going to happen every month, I would   
   like to place the renaming process in a script. The script works until I   
   try to rename it. The following is in the script.   
      
   prod_file=":office:prod" +month(today())+".xls")   
   if not rename("office:tmp_file.xls",prod_file) then   
      errorshow()   
   endif   
      
   The error message states :   
   error in rename procedure, unknown table type   
      
   What am I doing wrong.   
      
   you may e-mail me at :   
   whoknows@hal-pc.org.
