I am using code kindly provided by the Access Web to capture a file
path and insert it into a form. The relevant part of the code follows:
Function GetOpenFile(Opt ional varDirectory As Variant, _
Optional varTitleForDial og As Variant) As Variant
' Here's an example that gets an Access database name.
Dim strFilter As String
Dim lngFlags As Long
Dim varFileName As Variant
' Specify that the chosen file must already exist,
' don't change directories when you're done
' Also, don't bother displaying
' the read-only box. It'll only confuse people.
lngFlags = ahtOFN_FILEMUST EXIST Or _
ahtOFN_HIDEREAD ONLY Or ahtOFN_NOCHANGE DIR
If IsMissing(varDi rectory) Then
varDirectory = ""
End If
If IsMissing(varTi tleForDialog) Then
varTitleForDial og = ""
End If
' Define the filter string and allocate space in the "c"
' string Duplicate this line with changes as necessary for
' more file templates.
strFilter = ahtAddFilterIte m(strFilter, _
"All Files (*.*)", "*.*")
' Now actually call to get the file name.
varFileName = ahtCommonFileOp enSave( _
OpenFile:=True, _
InitialDir:=var Directory, _
Filter:=strFilt er, _
Flags:=lngFlags , _
DialogTitle:=va rTitleForDialog )
If Not IsNull(varFileN ame) Then
varFileName = TrimNull(varFil eName)
End If
GetOpenFile = varFileName
Forms!Form1!Fil eTxt = GetOpenFile
End Function
The textbox Form1!FileTxt then shows the full path of the file. In
addition to this, I want to capture the file name only eg. If the path
is "C:\Docs\MyDoc. doc", I want another text box to show "Mydoc".
Can this be easily done?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. 3 3005
In Access 2000 and later, use InstrRev() to find the last backslash
character in the file name. Then use Mid() to get the remainder as the file
name.
In earlier versions, use the trick that Dir() returns just the file name
from a full path.

Thanks Allen. This works well.
If the file exist then Dir will return just the filename.
i.e.
?Dir("C:\Docs\M yDoc.doc")
MyDoc.doc

Split File Fullpath Into Parts
