I previously created a winautomation job that simply adds the text foreclosure- to the beginning of .jpg files that I have saved in a directory.  This job used to work fine but now when I try to run it the job fails and gives the error message Cannot rename file.  I have no idea where to even start on this since the job has only 2 steps ( read filenames and add text to them) and now the second step is not working.  Is there something wrong in my settings on my PC?

Hi Ron, 

 

Would you mind attaching the script you have created? 

Is there any possibility that the image files are being used at the time you're trying to rename them?
