 DOS Compatiable Path Names

Does Anyone know how to change a normal Windows 95 Path into a DOS
compatible one using Visual Basic 4.0? When you open the properties for a
folder it shows the MS-DOS name for that folder, so there must be an API
function that changes the Windows 95 path into a DOS compatible one. Can
anyone help?

Thanks In Advance

Hi Mathew,

There is an API function called GetShortFileName() or something like
that.  It will do the trick for you.  I used it before.
