   Hi all,   
      
   Is there an easy way to truncated the name of file name, say from   
   " C:\my projects\dev\banana.txt" to just "banana.txt"   
   Do you have to reverse the string and then count from the doit back to   
   the slash or is there an easier way in VB 6? And go easy on me as I'm   
   new to VB. :)   
      
   Cheers
