Hi EMG,

Thanks. I will try it.
But I got Empty.

Ex.
Lfn2Sfn( curdir() )

OS: XP

Richard,

Is CurDir() returning a long filename ?

The following sample works fine here:

? LFN2SFN( "This is a long name" ) --> Empty

Test FWH801

Richard,

You need to have a file or a folder with that name in order to get LFN2SFN() working.

It is a Windows API requirement.

Are you using my sample without changes? If yes, do you want my EXE to test there? I'm using latest FWH.

Enrico,

You example works fine because you are previously creating a longname file.

If Silvio does not create it, as he should do, then the Windows API will not work
