I need a variable to return the name of the folder the open workbook is in.

I tried the following 2 but they are not what I need.

This one results in Y:\AAL\+Templates
Code:
Dim MyPath As String
MyPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path


This one results in Y:\AAL\+Templates\TO TEMPLATE_NEW.xlsm
Code:
Dim MyCompletePath As String
MyCompletePath = ActiveWorkbook.FullName


The result i need is just...

+Templates

None of the folders before it. The reason for this is that I am have a code that does a saveas and names the file. I need the name of the file to start with the name of the folder it is inside of.
In this case....

+TemplatesQuote.xlsx

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
Try this...

Code:
[color=darkblue]Dim[/color] MyFolder [color=darkblue]As[/color] [color=darkblue]String[/color]
MyFolder = Mid(ActiveWorkbook.Path, InStrRev(ActiveWorkbook.Path, Application.PathSeparator) + 1)

This will work for what you want...

Code:
Split(ActiveWorkbook.Path, "\")(Ubound(Split(ActiveWorkbook.Path, "\")))
