Shelling to the system is not required. The "Name" command in VBA does this for you.

example:
Name "c:\temp\myfile.txt" As "c:\temp\mynewfile.txt"

You can also do a quick and dirty MOVE command by renaming a file using a different folder name, as long as the folder name already exists, and is "moved" to the same drive:

example:
Name "c:\temp\myfile.txt" As "c:\Jobs\MyFile.txt"

Add a reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime In code you can declare a FileSystemObject.
In VBA poorly documented, but on MSDN you will find plenty. You can do almost anything with it,
write/read/move/checkexists etc.
