Renaming Documents using LAPI in VB 6

I'm lost. I can navigate around the folder structures, find what documents I need to change, but I can't find any help in how to rename the documents. I'm sure this must have been covered at some point, could I get a link or something to help push me in the right direction?Thanks.

Do you use LL_ValueSetString to create that variable for objectInfo?LL_GetObjectInfo(curSession, VolID, objID, tempObjectInfo)LL_ValueSetString(tempObjectInfo, "TEST.pdf")LL_UpdateObjectInfo(curSession, VolID, objID, tempObjectInfo)This is what I have. I know it's wrong. LAPI Documentation is tough to follow.

Give this a try:Public Function ChangeName(session As Long, VolID As Long, ObjID As Long, NewName As String)'Change the name of an objectDim ObjectInfo As Long status = LL_ValueAlloc(ObjectInfo) status = LL_ValueSetAssocInArgs(ObjectInfo) status = LL_AssocSetString(ObjectInfo, "Name", NewName) status = LL_UpdateObjectInfo(session, VolID, ObjID, ObjectInfo) status = LL_ValueFree(ObjectInfo) End Function

Here is a function that can be used to rename any object(i.e. Document, folder..etc) It returns LL_OK(0) if successed, and errorr_status otherwise. Public Function Rename(ByVal Session_ID As Long, ByVal Volume_ID As Long, ByVal Object_ID As Long, ByVal Name As String) As Long Dim Status As Integer Dim objectInfo As Integer Dim DocName As String Dim Trial As Integer = 0 Status = LL_ValueAlloc(objectInfo) Status = LL_GetObjectInfo(Session_ID, Volume_ID, Object_ID, objectInfo) Status = LL_AssocSetString(objectInfo, "Name", Name) Status = LL_UpdateObjectInfo(Session_ID, Volume_ID, Object_ID, objectInfo) If (Status = LL_OK) Then Status = LL_ValueFree(objectInfo) Return LL_OK Else Return Status End If End FunctionThe key point here is that whenever you need to change a field, you need to read it first, the you can update it.I hop that helps.Yaser

when i tried to use the setString method i always get an error of "setString(n, name, value) is not supported in this datatype" do you know why these is happening?

Maybe I'm wrong but from what I know, there is no implementation of setString with 3 parameters in the .NET API.The signature is:Public Overrides Sub setString(ByVal name As String, ByVal value As String)
