If you definately need the file name then you'll have to parse the data to
extract it. If MB isn't powerful enough VB definately will be. Use the instr
function recursively to determine the position of the last "\", and ".tab". And
then use mid() to extract the filename.
But are you sure you need it ? If you're trying to extract it in order to refer
to a just opened table in your code consider using
open table <filename> as myTable
then refer to the table as myTable. This will be its name and not a string
variable holding the name.
