Nancy,
The application is built in such a way that it feeds to the printer driver file names dynamically based on the current record in a table. The application organizes the files printed into a sub-folder of the application. It is not predictable where the users will install the application. Usually, it would end up in \Program files\company\application folder. That is to say, the sub-folder would be \program files\compay\application\documents. If I have a file named "abc.tif", this is would be the long path: \program files\company\application\documents\abc.tif.
Therefore, I may very well get a long path and a long file name.
My application has to be able to convert long path and file names to short ones.
Thanks,
Dawa
