Hi Pat,

I have the same problem. You gotta know (or guess) where to look.

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!
