Rick,

You can also use the Scripting.FileSystemObject to retrieve long filenames and paths in proper case, see Path property of Folder and File objects.

oFSO = CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject")
lcFile = GetFile()
oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder( JustPath( lcFile))
oFile = oFSO.GetFile( lcFile)
?oFile.Path
?oFolder.Path
?JustFName( oFile.Path)
