This is a function that would be useful to me, however when I try the GetFileTitle example, lpszTitle does not end up in the case as it shows up in Windows Explorer (or by doing a dir in a dos window). If lcfile is in upper case, lpszTitle ends up in proper case, otherwise lpszTitle ends up in whatever case lcfile was when I called the function. I'm using VFP 5.0a with Window NT 4.0.

Has anyone gotten this to work??
