Description
Appends a name to an existing path.
Syntax
object.BuildPath(path, name)

The BuildPath method syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
path Required. Existing path to which name is appended. Path can be absolute or relative and need not specify an existing folder.
name Required. Name being appended to the existing path.

Remarks
The BuildPath method inserts an additional path separator between the existing path and the name, only if necessary.

The following example illustrates use of the BuildPath method:

Function GetBuildPath(path)
  Dim fso, newpath
  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  newpath = fso.BuildPath(path, "Sub Folder") 
  GetBuildPath = newpath
End Function
