Re: [MS_AccessPros] How the get the path.

 

Hi Kevin

InStrRev() searches back from the end of a string until it finds a given character (or string) and it returns the position of that character.  You can use this to find the last backslash in the path, and then use the Left() function to cut off the end of the path, including the backslash you have found.

It pays to use Len(Path) - 1 to start your search one character back from the end, just in case the last character is already a backslash.

Now you should understand how this function works:

Public Function ParentPath(ByVal Path As String) As String

  ParentPath = Left(Path, InStrRev(Path, "\", Len(Path) - 1) - 1)

End Function

Dear Duane,

Thanks a lot. Yes. That's exactly what I want. I have tried instrRew（）, but I didn't get the result I  want. I only know a little about it. I'll try again and again to get the expected result.

Best Result,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

So you want the current project path without rightmost folder name?

If this is the case you can use InstrRev() function

Dear Domenico,

Thanks for your reply. My point is to only get the path without the folder where the current project locates. Desktop is not the case.

Best Regards,

Kevin
