Hi all,

Basicly, I need to extract the short (16bit) folder and file name into a table. If I use the parameter 'c:\'

I want it to return strings like:
C:\Proram`1\Kazaa`1\My~1\IN2043~3.WAV

Is there a way?

Thanks
Derick
 
If using the FileSystemObject, the ShortName property on the File/Folder Object would be the way. The only catch to it, you would need to get it from each individual one sparately.
