Im not very good at words, but here go,s

Does anyone know of a function or procedure in which i
can get a string containing a windows file, and load another string with it,s msdos name.

The msdos name of a file is found in the properties box for the file, i just need some way of getting it,s msdos name.

Maybe a function like.... string1 = msdos("c:\tester 1.mp3")
And string1 would now contain "TESTER-1.MP3"

Sorry if im not very articulate!
Thanks Ken
