I want the script to search for [b]book1[/b] (the 1. workbook) and use the long name of this [b]book1[/b] to rename the active workbook to [b]F1 - MyData1[/b]. It should look for the short name of the 1. workbook, because its long name will be different everytime. But the short name will be always the same. I have no clue how to rename longnames of workbooks or get longnames of other workbooks. :(( I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance! [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
