Can't you just loop through the standard dirs and do something like this?
'Read model dir and filename from dropdown/registry/common dialog
'Example
strModelDir = "e:\personal\custom\dats\"
strModelFilename = "mymodel.dat"
'Get full path and filename for model
strModelPath = strModelDir & strModelFilename
'Prefill array aryStandardPath with the standard paths that L3P knows about
'Loop through paths and compare to chosen file
For i = 0 To intStandardPaths - 1
If LCase(Left(strModelPath,Len(aryStandardPath(i)))) =
LCase(aryStandardPath(i)) Then
'Remove path from beginning of model filename
strModelPath = Mid(strModelPath,Len(aryStandardPath(i)) + 1)
Exit For
End If
Next
'Now model path should be full if not in standard paths, or shortened if it
is

Great.
