This returns a filename given a file specification as in: sTab_name = PathToFileName$(sTab_Path) Greg -----Original Message----- From: Eagle, David A [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 15:44 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: MI-L FileOpenDlg Listers, I'm currently writing a small application. I am using FileOpenDlg to navigate to a *.Tab file, I then want update an EditText box with that table name. I can manage to update it with the path but I don't want to show the full path, only the file name. I've included the snippet of code below... To strip out the filename only I am trying to search for the first "\" from the right of the string, but I'm sure I am barking up the wrong tree, as all sTab_Name is feeding me so far is "TAB"?! Any ideas? Sub Browse_Open Dim sTab_Path As String Dim sTab_Name As String sTab_Path = FileOpenDlg("C:\","","TAB","Open Gazetteer Table") sTab_Name = Right$(sTab_Path, InStr(1,sTab_Path,"\") ) Print sTab_Path Print sTab_Name Alter Control 900 Value sTab_Path End Sub Best Regards, David ---------------------------------------------- David A.
