Niki Wurste #1 / 7	SHORT filename to LONG filename??? Is there a way to convert a Short filename to a Long filename. I know how to do it the opposite way, but I have no clue how this could work. Thank you so much!

Jody Gelowit #2 / 7	SHORT filename to LONG filename??? I think I saw something like this in the Setup1 project that is in the Visual Basic directory. -- Later, Jody http://www.visual-statement.com/vb Quote: > Is there a way to convert a Short filename to a Long filename.

galen nickerso #3 / 7	SHORT filename to LONG filename??? Niki, take a look at the following MSKB article: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q175/5/12.asp?FR=0 HOWTO: Get a Short Filename from a Long Filename Article ID: Q175512 SUMMARY Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to get the Short Filename equivalent of a file that has a Long Filename. The example below will allow you to select a file that has a Long Filename and return it's Short Filename using the GetShortPathName API Function call. hth galen Quote: >Is there a way to convert a Short filename to a Long filename.

That's right, they are BOTH on your disk .. Greetz, Rudy Wieser

Try this: Declare Function GetFullPathName Lib "kernel32" Alias _ "GetFullPathNameA" (ByVal lpFileName As String, ByVal nBufferLength _ As Long, ByVal lpBuffer As String, ByVal lpFilePart As String) As Long This one converts the other way: Declare Function GetShortPathName Lib "kernel32" Alias _ "GetShortPathName" (ByVal lpszLongPath As String, ByVal _ lpszShortPath As String, ByVal cchBuffer As Long) As Long Ole - Ole I.

Both filenames point to the same place on the disk. -- Alex Warren email: take my name, remove the spaces, and add a writeme, a dot, and a com.
