Determining Path Only of CommonDialog

[rcsenar]

This has to be easy, but my scrambled brain can't figure it out.

I know that CommomDialog.FileName gives me the full path and file name of a selected file. I just want the user to select a directory, not a specific file.

Do I use CommonDialog?
If yes:
What is the easiest way to parse out just the path?
How do I allow for the selection of just a directory...not a unique file name?

If no:
What can I use?

Thanks in advance.

This will parse out the path after a selection from a CommonDialog. You could also use a DriveListBox and a DirListBox. Each method has it's disadvantages. The CommonDialog requires the user to select a file, even if you just want the folder.

Public Function JustPath(ByVal strFilePath As String) As String
JustPath = Left(strFilePath, InStrRev(strFilePath, "\&quot)
End Function
