RenameDatabase()

Summary

Renames a geographic file.

Syntax

RenameDatabase(string old_name, string new_name)

Argument	Contents
old_name	The full path and file name of the geographic file
new_name	The full path and new file name of the geographic file

Notes

The old_name can include a full file specification, and must have an extension of either .dbd (standard geographic file) or .cdf (compact geographic file).
The extension of new_name must match that of old_name.
If you omit the path from new_name, and the current drive and directory are not the location of the geographic file, RenameDatabase() will move the geographic file to the current drive and directory.

Example

RenameDatabase("c:\\data\\states.cdf", " c:\\data\\mystate.cdf")
