Your statement may not work for the OP... file extensions are not always
only three characters long. Some examples from the Office 12 (Office 2007)
directory... ExpenseReport.xltx, excel.exe.manifest, SOLVER.XLAM, Building
Blocks.dotx, NewFileItems.vsdir, etc.

Is there an easy way of removing the file extention from the file name?

Hi Fan

Sub StripExt()
Dim str_FileName As String

str_FileName = Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name, Len(ActiveWorkbook.Name) - 4)

End Sub
