##### Description

> Appends a name to an existing path.

##### Syntax

> object.BuildPath(path, name)

> The BuildPath method syntax has these parts:

> Part | Description
> object | Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
> path | Required. Existing path to which name is appended. Path can be absolute or relative and need not specify an existing folder.
> name | Required. Name being appended to the existing path.

##### Remarks

> The BuildPath method inserts an additional path separator between the existing path and the name, only if necessary.

> The following example illustrates use of the BuildPath method:

> >     Function GetBuildPath(path)
> >       Dim fso, newpath
> >       Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
> >       newpath = fso.BuildPath(path, "Sub Folder")
> >       GetBuildPath = newpath
> >     End Function
