'GetFolder' methods of the 'Scripting.FileSystemObject object'. Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") MsgBox oFSO.GetFolder("C:\New Folder").ShortName MsgBox oFSO.GetFile("C:\New Folder\New Text Document.txt").ShortName MsgBox oFSO.GetFile("C:\New Folder\New Text Document.txt").ShortPath |
