ADIR gives you the file long-name. So the problem is that you want to see DOS names instead. If it is the case, then you should gather file names using other method. For instance, you could use this:

run dir *.* > c:\txt.txt
and then strip out file names as they appear there.

>I am using the ADir() function to find files in a particular directory. I am using the following syntax ADir(myArray,myvariable + '*.*). This works 99 percent of the time. However, today I ran the code and it let me know that files with the variable I pushed to it existed. I went to the directory and couldn't find them. So I ran the code and displayed the myArray(1,1) result. It was an entirly different number than I presentd to the function. So I opened the properties of the file it found and on NT4 the name of the file was different than the MS-Dos name. Example: File Name= 855213-400A.pdf, MS-Dos Name = 855244`1.pdf. Just so happens the variable I sent to the function was 855244.
