I'm not sure which you wanted:
f="c:\program files\eag\dir\testing\test.xls"
mid$(f,1,WorksheetFunction.Find(chr$(22),Worksheet Function.Substitute(f,"\",chr$(22),len(f)-len(join(split(f,"\"),""))-1)))
or
f="c:\program files\eag\dir\testing\test.xls"
mid$(f,WorksheetFunction.Find(chr$(22),WorksheetFu nction.Substitute(f,"\",chr$(22),len(f)-len(join(split(f,"\"),""))-1)))

hello,
=left.,.
The formula is incomplete, i must extract different filename's
E.G.
c:\program files\eag\dir\testing\test.xls
Now the formula must extract c:\program files\eag\dir\
another example:
c:\windows\system\systemroot\test\testing.xls
The formula must extract c:\windows\system\systemroot\
So you can see, the formula must extract the file and its folder, so 2
steps
I can't get it to work, hope you can
Regards,
Niek
