To save you a bit of time, here are my standard filename functions:

Function Directory(Fullpath As String) As String Directory = Left$(Fullpath,
InStrRev(Fullpath, "\")) End Function Function FileName(Fullpath As String)
As String
    FileName = Right$(Fullpath, Len(Fullpath) - InStrRev(Fullpath, "\")) End
Function Function FileRoot(FileNm As String) As String If
InStr(FileName(FileNm), ".") > 0 Then
    FileRoot = Left$(FileNm, InStrRev(FileNm, ".") - 1) Else
  FileRoot = FileName(FileNm)
End If
End Function
Function FileExt(FileNm As String) As String If InStr(FileName(FileNm), ".")
> 0 Then
    FileExt = Right$(FileNm, Len(FileNm) - InStrRev(FileNm, ".")) Else
    FileExt = ""
End If
End Function--
