Default Need help editing a string

The code below prompts the user for a folder then trys to use that folder
path to name a worksheet. Of course it doesn't work because it has invalid
characters for naming a worksheet. What I need to do is cut the folder path
down to just the name of the last folder ie.. c:\documents and
settings\user\desktop would get cut down to just desktop. I have no idea
where to start.

Thanks in advance

Steve


With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.Show

MsgBox .SelectedItems(1)
Dim curwb As Workbook
Dim curws As Worksheet
MyFolder = "c:\"
Set curwb = ActiveWorkbook
Set curws = curwb.Worksheets.Add
curws.Name = .SelectedItems(1)
Me.txtSelectedFolder = .SelectedItems(1)

End With
