    Parent Directory??

    Hi All

    Can anyone tell me how in VBA to extract the name of the Parent Directory just one step back from the file location.

    e.g.

    C:\Parent 1\Parent 2\Parent 3\document.xls

    I would like to return Parent 3, unfortunately, the number of sub directories can vary significantly and is not limited to 3 as in the example above.

    Thank in advance
