Just wanted to come up with the roughly identical
functionality of Toms example.

Good catch, what I had in mind was not:
    Left(FName, InStrRev(FName, ".wmv", , 1) - 1)
but perhaps
    Left(FName, InStrRev(FName, ".") - 1)
which I normally use here, to get rid of a file-
extension of variable length in a generic way,
but from the top of my head failed to hack-in
correctly for this specific example.
