You could use ExtractFileName and ExtractFilePath
Compare the Paths and check the Filename under your Path...

Subject: [DUG]: Getting the actual filename
Heya,
I want to check whether a file name is "under" a certain directory.
i.e. is "c:\data\templates\file.txt" under the "c:\data\templates"
directory?
I would just use a simple string compare however the problem is the user can
type in a name like this as well:
"c:\data\templates\..\..\topsecret\file.txt"
Is there an existing function to resolve the actual filename or path?
Thank you,
Wilfred.
