In DOS the long path is truncated. The Windows API function I gave a reference in one of my messages produces DOS-like format of the path.

>>I tried to find this function in Help yesterday in VFP9 SP2. I found that it could not be found by just typing DisplayPath. So I went to functions and found it this way. I also noticed, that it was saying it returns path in lower case while in fact it was returning it in upper case. Also this is for display purpose only, it doesn't mean DOS path, as API solution provides.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
