Hello.
I use the following line which returns the path of a file and adds it to
a listbox. How can I modify this line so that it only returns the
filename and not the entire path?
--> TxtAttachment.A ddItem (vrtSelectedIte m)
vrtSelectedItem is the variable which contains the path.
Thank you
Colin

I'm sure there's an easier way, but here's one...
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public Function PathOnly(ByVal strFileName As String) As String
Dim strTemp As String
strTemp = StrReverse(strF ileName)
strTemp = Left$(strTemp, InStr(1, strTemp, "\") - 1)
strTemp = StrReverse(strT emp)
PathOnly = strTemp
End Function

Colin,
Try
--> TxtAttachment.A ddItem (mid(vrtSelecte dItem,InStr(vrt SelectedItem,"\ ")+1))

Colin,
First, find the position of the last slash in the string, everything
after that is the filename:
Function GetFile(inPathF ile As String) As String
Dim iLastSlash As Integer
Do Until (InStr(iLastSla sh + 1, inPathFile, "\")) = 0
iLastSlash = InStr(iLastSlas h + 1, inPathFile, "\")
Loop
GetFile = Right(inPathFil e, Len(inPathFile) - iLastSlash)
End Function
Regards, GJ

Thank you guys.
I tried sunil's solution first because it looked simplest to implement.
Unfortunately, all it did was strip the drive letter off the path. I
then went to pieter's solution and it worked perfectly.
Thank you all
Colin

Gee, I was NOT aware of the "reverse" function, and thus your solton is
cute!!
However, do note that we have
InstrRev, which is simply Instr, but it stards at the rigth side...
So...
FileNameOnly = mid$(strFileNam e , InStrRev(strFil eName, "\") + 1)

I have worked out the following implementation for trimming the leading

see these as member functions). Am I doing it correctly, or is there a
better way to do it?
Thanks,

On my local site, I have a folder that is security trimmed, so that only
members of a Role can see it after they register and log on (I set the
memberships). All works fine locally.
However, when I deployed to my ISP, the security trimming does not work.
Here is the relevant code. I can add users just fine, they show up in the
ISP SQL Server database, and I can log on and off.

I've got a form where i need to pull both the directory of a filename

easiest way to do this was to have an <input id=test type=file

vb cut off the filename upon submission of the form. I just can't
figure out how to trim off the filename leaving just the directory it's

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
