Hi Luukdb!

 

Interesting, probably something simple like a missing '\'. Would you mind sharing your new code that presents this error?

In the screenshot I only had one \ and tried \\ in my current code but that didn't do anything.

 

aqFile.Copy("\\bs-international.nl\\group\\ICT\\Applicatiebeheer\\TestComplete\\NewPackingTable xml files\\NewPackingTable_BIT-ERP_Order.xml", "\\bs-international.nl\\group\\ICT\\Applicatiebeheer\\TestComplete\\NewPackingTable xml files\\NewPackingTable_BIT-ERP_Order-copy.xml");

function RenameXMLFile()
{
  
 var timeNowRaw = aqDateTime.Now()
 var timeNowFormatted = aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(timeNowRaw,"%m%d%Y_%H%M")
 
 Log.Message("Unformatted raw date from aqDateTime.Now =  " + aqDateTime.Now())
 Log.Message("Formatted Date = " + aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(timeNowRaw, "%m%d%Y_%H%M"))
 
 var OldPath = "\\bs-international.nl\\group\\ICT\\Applicatiebeheer\\TestComplete\\NewPackingTable xml files\\NewPackingTable_BIT-ERP_Order-copy.xml";
 var NewPath = "\\bs-international.nl\\group\\ICT\\Applicatiebeheer\\TestComplete\\NewPackingTable xml files\\NewPackingTable_BIT-ERP_Order- "+ timeNowFormatted + ".xml";

 
 // Renames the file
 aqFileSystem.RenameFile(OldPath, NewPath);
}
