Hi Robert


Is there someway of using VBA say NoExt = FileName, then say insert
that into a feild?

In short: you don't.

You can change the way Windows itself displays filenames (w/o the
extension), but this is generally not a good idea.

But there's no field switch doing what you ask for (and God knows we've
asked for such things repeatedly :-)).

You could programmatically (on saving?) insert the filename into a
Document variable or property and reference this instead.
