I am having a frustrating time getting GETFILE() to return the name of a selected link file in VFP 9 on a 2000 operating system.
If a link file is selected using GETFILE(), it returns the name and path of the file linked instead of the link file itself.
For example, I have a link file called "Test.lnk". It's target is "C:\Docs\Result.doc". If I select it with GETFILE(), it returns "C:\Docs\Result.doc" on a 2000 machine and "Test.lnk" on a XP machine.
I get the same weird behavior with locfile()
Any workaround available ?
