Path Property

  • Article

Returns the disk or Web path to the specified object. Read-only String.

expression.Path

expression Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Remarks

The path doesn't include a trailing character — for example, "C:\MSOffice" or "http://MyServer". Use the PathSeparator property to add the character that separates folders and drive letters. Use the Name property to return the file name without the path and use the FullName property to return the file name and the path together.

Note  You can use the PathSeparator property to build Web addresses even though they contain forward slashes (/) and the PathSeparator property defaults to a backslash (\).
