Default removing the file extension while listing files via foundfiles

Jon,

I suggest you try this and forget using the Split function. You should stop
putting periods in your file name. This function will return the file name
only when the entire path and name is passed to it. If there is no extension
then it won't error. I am assuming that there are no instances where you have
no extension but still have periods in the file name. See the
"TestFileNameOnly" routine in my first post for how to use the function.

Function FileNameOnly(FileName As String) As String
Dim x As Integer, y As Integer
x = InStrRev(FileName, "\")
y = InStrRev(FileName, ".")
y = IIf(y = 0, Len(FileName) + 1, y)
FileNameOnly = Mid(FileName, x + 1, y - x - 1)
End Function

Regards,
Greg

Help!

This method fails if the file does not contain an extension. I need to
put it in an if statement and test if the file has a "." in it. How
can I do this?
