There might be an easier way but something like this will do it:
Dim intPos intPos = 1 Do While inStr(intPos, strFilename, "\", 1) intPos = inStr(intPos, strFilename, "\", 1) + 1 Loop strFilename = Right(strFilename, Len(strFilename) - (intPos - 1)) Might have to do some tweaking to get it to work right but that's an idea... ------------- FeRnAN http://www.danasoft.com/">

filename = StrReverse(filename) something along those lines should work to. You may need to tweak it a bit as I didnt test it out to be sure it worked. You could also use a regular expression replace statement if you know enugh about regular expresions (I don't, otherwise I would have posted that). ------------- - Flamewave They say the grass is greener on the other side, but if you really think about it, the grass is greener on both sides. |

One line of code: fileName = Mid(fileName, InstrRev(fileName,"\")+1)
