Hi, Is there any way to extract the filename from an OpenDialog? 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

Is this what you're asking for or did I misunderstand your question...?

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!
