Juan,

I never saw in the Win32 API a function that would return a set of properties, including the name, for a file that was previously open with CreateFile() or with _fopen().

I took a look at GetHandleInformation() and the only thing it would return is totally useless in your case.

I guess that, internally, whenever FoxPro is calling the internal _FOpen(), it keeps a list of open files (indeed, it must do so to close all files with the CLOSE ALL command), their handle, filename, pointer position, etc.

That's all I can say.
