This seems to work well:

Private Sub cmdParsePath_Click()
Dim strPath As String
Dim strFileName As String

strPath = txtPath.Text

SeparatePathAndFile strPath, strFileName

lblPath.Caption = strPath
lblFile.Caption = strFileName
End Sub


Private Sub SeparatePathAndFile(ByRef io_strPath As String, ByRef o_strFileName As String)
'io_strPath - Input/output parameter containing the entire path with file name
' - Will Return the path only
'o_strFileName - Output parameter that will contain the name of the File

Dim strPath() As String
Dim lngIndex As Long

strPath() = Split(io_strPath, "\") 'Put the Parts of our path into an array
lngIndex = UBound(strPath)
o_strFileName = strPath(lngIndex) 'Get the File Name from our array
strPath(lngIndex) = "" 'Remove the File Name from our array
io_strPath = Join(strPath, "\") 'Rebuild our path from our array

End Sub

Look at system.io.path it has everything you need like getpaht.

its saying
Dim strPath() As string
Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array.
