fname = fi.name
fextension = fi.extension

I have :a friend: who needs to extract a filename from a variable
path_filename.
The path/filename combo is stored in a string and is different each time.

Something like

strFile = txtPathFile.text 'were the txtPathFile textbox is populated with
c:\windows\win.com

what is the most straight forward way to pull win.com out and place into
another string like strFile?

I really appreciate...I mean, my friend really appreciates the help. ;-)

Thanks,
m
