Is this the right way to get to back up to the immediate
parent subdirectory?

Directory.GetParent("\")

or this?

Directory.GetParent("..")

Or this?

Directory.GetParent()

Thanks!

Cor,

Thanks for the encouragement to persist...

Once I figured out I could put TextBox1's on either side
of the line of code I was trying to change to the parent
directory then I could start to see what was going on in
the Auto window.

And the winning line of code to change to a parent
directory iiiisssssss.....

TextBox1.Text = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()

Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(Directory.GetParent(CurDir
()).ToString)

TextBox1.Text = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()

Thanks!

This one needed some persisting on my part. :o)
