Hi Ken,

Since you're using GetFileVersion(), I assume you're still using VFP 5.0 with Foxtools. The behavior you describe is the same in VFP 6.0 where the JustPath() function is part of the language. However, there are some issues to watch out for in connection with the JustPath(), JustExt() functions under VFP 5.0/Foxtools in connection with long file names. Be careful with filenames containing multiple periods. As I recall JustExt(), at least, has a problem with these.
