RENAME Command

Visual FoxPro 9.0 SP2

RENAME Command

See Also Example

Changes the name of a file to a new name.

Note
Do not use RENAME to change the name of a table in a database; RENAME does not change the name of the table in the database. Instead, use RENAME TABLE to change the name of a table in a database. For more information, see RENAME TABLE Command.


RENAME FileName1 TO FileName2

FileName1 TO FileName2

Specifies the file name to change and the new file name. Include a file extension for each file.

Note
If the file extensions are not included, the default extension .dbf is assumed. To rename a file that does not have an extension, include a period (.) after the file name. If you rename a free table that has an associated .fpt memo file, be sure to rename the memo file.
