Get UNC from Common Dialog

[wtstro]

I have a common dialog Active X control on my form. After selecting a file from the dialog box, I insert the .filename returned into a text box on the form. How can I get the dialog box to return the UNC instead of the drive path?
Example -
returns: P:\DirName\FileName.txt
want: \\Server\Share\DirName\FileName.txt

Anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks.

I am not sure how to get it out of the box, but you could always search the registry for the drive letter and pick up the UNC name from the appropriate key.....then in whatever code you are working just replace you drive letter with the UNC you found.....
