GetParentFolderName Method

           

Description

Returns a string containing the name of the parent folder of the last component in a specified path.

Syntax

object.GetParentFolderName(path)

The GetParentFolderName method syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
path	Required. The path specification for the component whose parent folder name is to be returned.

Remarks

The GetParentFolderName method returns a zero-length string ("") if there is no parent folder for the component specified in the path argument.

Note   The GetParentFolderName method works only on the provided path string. It does not attempt to resolve the path, nor does it check for the existence of the specified path.
