| FileSystemObject.GetAbsolutePathName Method (VB6) |
Named Arguments
Yes
Syntax
oFileSysObj.GetAbsolutePathName(Path)
oFileSysObj
Use: Required
Data Type: FileSystemObject object
Any object variable returning a FileSystemObject object.
Path
Use: Required
Data Type: String
A path specifier.
Return Value
A string containing the absolute path of a given path specifier.
Description
Converts a relative path to a fully qualified path, including the drive letter.
Rules at a Glance
"." returns the drive letter and complete path of the current folder.
".." returns the drive letter and path of the parent of the current folder.
"filename" returns the drive letter and path up to and including filename within the current folder.
All relative path names are assumed to originate at the current folder.
If a drive isn't explicitly provided as part of Path, it's assumed to be the current drive.
Wildcard characters can be included in path at any point.
Programming Tips and Gotchas
For mapped network drives and shares, the method doesn't return the full network address. Rather, it returns the fully qualified local path and locally issued drive letter.
GetAbsolutePathName doesn't verify that a given file or folder exists in the path specified.
