Just to clarify, I need to evaulate the directory and path 'before' opening
the file because the importing of the data structure depends on where it is
coming from and what it is called. Once I know this, then I can open it with
appropriate import parameters.

Depending on which directory a user picks his file, the processing routines
will vary. This means I would need to be able to evaluate the path of the
file that was chosen and run the appropriate subroutine. I would also like to
be able to evaluate the filename as well. The problem I am having is that the
GetOpenFilename returns the path and filename together. Ideally I'd like to
break it into two strings to evaluate both of them before proceeding.

Any help appreciated.
