I have a small application that converts word documents to htm files. They are placed on a win 2000 server that has win 3.11 machines connected to it. Therefore to make sure that I can read all of the htm files, I use the short name of the file as the link, copying the longname to the shortname and then link it.
It seems that the short names do not link to the long names properly...
Code below
nDocs=ADIR(longnames,"*.doc","",1)
=ADIR(shortnames,"*.doc","",2)
DIMENSION ProdLinks[ALEN(shortnames,1),2]
FOR y=1 TO ALEN(ShortNames,1)
ProdLinks[y,1]=JUSTSTEM(ShortNames[y,1])
ProdLinks[y,2]=JUSTSTEM(LongNames[y,1])
ENDFOR
The issue is that the shortnames do not match... the ones got via dir -x

For example if you examine line 5, you may note the file name is 1-1100~4, yet in my VFP app it is 1-065D~1. Notice there is NO file with this as its short name in the list! Needless to say my links do not work.
Any ideas what is going on here?
Or is there a better way to get the short file name?
TIA,
Mike
