Hiding file-extensions in field "file name"
I would like to use a field where I get the file name but not the
extension. I realize that this depends on what the settings are on my computer. I either show file extensions or I don't. But in this case I am making a template and I never want the file extensions to be shown in this particular field. No matter what the settings are on the user's computer. Is this possible? |

Hiding file-extensions in field "file name"
The only way to do it would be to use VBA code to unlink the filename field
and then delete the extension. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
