Detect Workbook Name when using GetOpenFileName
Hi,
I'm using the following code in Access to select an Excel file that I wish to import into a Table. It works great. However I would also like to test that the user has selected the correct Excel file. "directory" provides the file path information that I need for the Access VBA statement to import the file into the table. However before I go futher I need to test for the name of the workbook as well. I could parse this out by detecting the backslashes in the file path - but that's not very neat. Any help appreciated. Rgds...Chris Set xlObj = CreateObject("excel.application") xlObj.Visible = True directory = xlObj.Application.getopenfilename("Excel Files (*.XLS), *.XLS", 1) |

Hi Chris
You can use Dir Sub testing() Dim FName As Variant Dim N As Long FName = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls") If FName < False Then MsgBox Dir(FName) End If End Sub -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl "Chris Gorham" wrote in message ...

Hi Chris,
Here's another way: Sub test() Dim vFullPath As Variant Dim vFileInfo As Variant Dim sFileName As String vFullPath = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files " & _ "(*.XLS), *.XLS", 1) If vFullPath < False Then MsgBox vFullPath vFileInfo = Split(vFullPath, Application.PathSeparator) sFileName = vFileInfo(UBound(vFileInfo)) MsgBox sFileName End If End Sub This is code from within Excel, so you'll have to qualify references to Application with xlObj. -- Regards, Jake Marx MS MVP - Excel www.longhead.com [please keep replies in the newsgroup - email address unmonitored] Chris Gorham wrote: Hi, I'm using the following code in Access to select an Excel file that I wish to import into a Table.
