 NEW: Converting long filenames to short

In my previous posting I was actually talking about converting entire
pathnames *as well as* filenames to their DOS counterparts:

Hi,

In one of my VB5.0 projects I want to control an instance of Excel 5.0
by means of OLE Automation, and open and save spreadsheets there. Am I
right in assuming that I can only deal with short (DOS-based) filenames
when doing so, and if so, is there a simple way to convert long Win95
filenames to the DOS counterparts in VB 5.0?

Thanks,

I believe the API is GetShortPathName(..)
