Default How to split filename from filepath?

If I retrieve a filename including the filepath like this:

strFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Report (*.txt; *.dat ),*.txt;
*.dat")

How do I manipulate the strFileName, retrieving only the filename?

(guess I have to search from right to find the first "\". Then delete the
content to the left of this character. But I don't know how this works in VBA)

Thanks for suggestions.
