I'm afraid that this code fails if you have a dot character at an earlier point in the filename/path. I do have a routine which will produce a similar result to this, but does not store in the same manner. It will allow you to pull any individual directory, the drive, the filename or the extension, but was not infact written for this purpose.
If you want it, send me (Mandelbrot) a PM in Extreme Visual Basic Fourms.
