If you're using xl2k or higher, you could use instrrev() to find the last \.

If a serious question,
A MAC uses VBA5 and instrrev was introduced with VBA6. The mac is stuck with the properties, methods and functions found in xl97 as far as VBA alone. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Charles Chickering" wrote: What if they are using a cursed Mac? <gr -- Charles Chickering "A good example is twice the value of good advice."

Just to add to Tom's response, I'd loop backwards.
dim iCtr as long dim filetoopen as variant dim JustFileName as string fileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename("DBF Files (*.dbf), *.dbf") if filetoopen = false then exit sub end if for ictr = len(filetoopen) to 1 step -1 if mid(filetoopen, ictr, 1) = Application.PathSeparator then justfilename = mid(filetoopen, ictr + 1) exit for end if next ictr Charles Chickering wrote: What if they are using a cursed Mac? <gr -- Charles Chickering "A good example is twice the value of good advice."
