object.GetAbsolutePathName(pathspec)
A path is complete and unambiguous if it provides a complete reference from the root of the specified drive. A complete path can only end with a path separator character (\) if it specifies the root folder of a mapped drive.
Assuming the current directory is c:\mydocuments\reports, the following table illustrates the behavior of the GetAbsolutePathName method.
pathspec | Returned path |
---|---|
"c:" | "c:\mydocuments\reports" |
"c:.." | "c:\mydocuments" |
"c:\\\" | "c:\" |
"c:*.*\may97" | "c:\mydocuments\reports\*.*\may97" |
"region1" | "c:\mydocuments\reports\region1" |
"c:\..\..\mydocuments" | "c:\mydocuments" |
