This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
>>>I have a variable (called path) storing a filepath such as X:\AAAA\BBBB\
>>>I need to capture the BBBB portion of the filepath. However, this filepath isn't always going to be this exact format, but I will always need to get the text between the last two '\'. What is the best way I can do this? Seems like it should be easy, however, I have been struggling with it. Hope this makes sense.

JUSTSTEM(JUSTPATH(lcfile))

You still can use JUSTFNAME(JUSTPATH("X:\AAAA\BBBB\"))
you just need to use FOXTOOLS.FLL in VFP5 as I mentioned in another message.
