object

Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.

pathspec

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.

The following example illustrates the use of the GetAbsolutePathName method.

JScript	Copy Code
