Hello everyone I am a novice filemaker user, and am putting together a DB that allows me to select a file and place the reference in a container field, then I have a calculation field that tells me the file path, what I need is a way to get the path minus the filename. any ideas?

I have got the path formatted almost completed to what I want except for the filename always appearing and since the filename will always change and there is no pattern I don't know how to just have the path to the folder containing the file.

Thanks, would greatly appreciate anyones help

See if this helps.
