Returns a complete and unambiguous path from a provided path specification.
object.GetAbsolutepathname(pathspec)
object
The name of a FileSystemObject object. Required.
pathspec
The path specification to change to a complete and unambiguous path. Required.
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.
