Simple use of Len?
vFileName holds the full path and filename of a Word
document opened via Excel VBA. A new workbook is created, and data is imported from the Word document. Before I save the new workbook, how can I use LEN to simply change vFileName to end as *.xls, rather than its' current *.doc, please? Regards. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Just make sure you don't use this code in a version of excel earlier than
xl2000 where it was introduced. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Stuart wrote in message ... So, goodbye to Len. Thanks for that. Regards.

That is very handy to know !
Many thanks. Would a 'Len' solution be backwards-compatible with my users? Their earliest version is Excel'97. Regards. "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...

Simple use of Len?
sFileName = application.substitute(sfilename, "doc", "xls")
or sfilename = Left(sfilename,len(sFilename)-4) & ".xls" should work in all versions of Excel that support VBA. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Stuart wrote in message ... That is very handy to know !
