I am having a frustrating time getting GETFILE() to return the name of a selected link file in VFP 6 (VFP 5 does the same). 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 "Visual FoxPro.lnk". It's target is "C:\vfp\vfp.exe". If I select it with GETFILE(), it returns "C:\vfp\vfp.exe" instead of "Visual FoxPro.lnk" (which is what I want it to return).

Any clue what it happening here? Thanks.
