Richard,

Is CurDir() returning a long filename ?

Richard,

You need to have a file or a folder with that name in order to get LFN2SFN() working.

It is a Windows API requirement.

Enrico,

You example works fine because you are previously creating a longname file.

If Silvio does not create it, as he should do, then the Windows API will not work
