code to return full directory name from partial name

M

Michael McClellan

OK, I'm trying to get the full path name from only a part of it. I
thought the dir function would work but now I'm thinking no.

I have HMB4197, and the full path name is HMB4197 - MATH - CPO45799. I
need vb to search for this directory and return the full path so that I
can move some files to this directory.

Any ideas?

Yes, you have. We're wondering what your issue has to do with Outlook and at
this point don't even remember it, since the newsgroup interface you're
using doesn't quote the previous message.
