BuildPath Method

Description

Appends a name to an existing path.

Syntax

object.BuildPath(path, name)

The BuildPath method syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
path	Required. Existing path to which name is appended. Path can be absolute or relative and need not specify an existing folder.
name	Required. Name being appended to the existing path.

Remarks

The BuildPath method inserts an additional path separator between the existing path and the name, only if necessary.

The following example illustrates use of the BuildPath method:

Function GetBuildPath(path)
  Dim fso, newpath
  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  newpath = fso.BuildPath(path, "Sub Folder") 
  GetBuildPath = newpath
End Function
