Error: Automation Error. Layout does not eixst for renaming; reset after error... and yes "exist" is misspelled :-)
Has anyone figured out how to do this or is it just a limitation? I can see the layout object and all the properties ... but when I try and delete or rename, this error is thrown:same error on 2010QuoteError: Automation Error.

Using your supplied code, the first layout in the active drawing was renamed, not that of the saved drawing. :?

Just for my education, why do you use "and" here? I would have used "if". Does the vla-put-name run even if the first half is nil?

Thanks for checking this. Guess it's just a bug.
The first time I ran this, it worked. The second time it did not. If I change the rename to -test1, it will work one more time.
It ran for me in 2012, renaming Layout1 tab to test in the active drawing.

It worked as above. No error message.
I'm confused what the OP is trying to do. If he's trying to change the name of the layout tab in the saved -test drawing, wouldn't he just use saveas to create the file, and then open the saved drawing with DBX, change the layout name and resave it? Or change the name in the active drawing, and then do a saveas?
