FoundFiles
 

Is there a way, short of string manipulation functions to return the filename
only of a FoundFiles.Item ? I will be loading filenames into a List box
without their path. The current state of the code merely lists them in a
MsgBox, after removing the folder path selected by the GetFolderName function
(which uses Application.FileDialog). This method, however, will not remove
the remainder of the path from files in subfolders of the main folder.

Thank you for any assistance.

For i = 1 To fs.FoundFiles.Count

' Display message if no files were found.
MsgBox "No files were found"
End If

strMsg = ""
For i = 1 To fs.FoundFiles.Count
strMsg = strMsg & Mid(fs.FoundFiles.Item(i), Len(fs.LookIn) + 2) &
vbCrLf
Next i

MsgBox strMsg

You can use the split function

v = split(.foundfiles(i),"\")
fname = v(ubound(v))

Great! Thanks, Tom.
