I would like to be able to put only the filename and extension into an Edit box. When I try to use: Edit1->Text = OpenDialog->FileName; I get the pathh and all listed in the Edit box. I know that this should be easily done it's just that I can't ssem to find an answer to my searches. Thank you for your kind help. Pat Back to top Robert G.

Just as a side note I looked high and low for this answer, all of my reference books and on line help and so on. 10 seconds with someone who know something...... Thank you ever so much Pat Robert G.

Look up "SysUtils" in the BCB help files. There are a LOT of goodies in there... ExtractFilePath ChangeFileExt ExtractRelativePath ExcludeTrailingPathDelimiter ....just to name a few. These little gems save me a LOT of time! Rob Pat wrote: Quote: Thanks Rob, That is exactly what I was looking for!
