sorry, i think this question was asked many times before, i want to just trim the name of the file from a form, i.e. when the user enters:
C:\Documents and Settings\ashrafvision\Desktop\5124.jpg
just the value 5124.jpg enter the database

how can i remove the C:\Documents and Settings\ashrafvision\Desktop\

sorry again, and thanks.

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...

filename = StrReverse(filename)
filename = Left(filename, (Len(filename) - InStr(filename, "/"))
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).

One line of code:

fileName = Mid(fileName, InstrRev(fileName,"\")+1)
