Hi all
How can I get a file path and name from a file handle (returned by FCREATE)? I am sure that there is a Windows API to do this but I cannot workout how to call it from VFP.
Many thanks
Paul Newton
Hi Chris,
I just did: nHandle = FCREATE('pc.txt')
and it created a pc.txt in the current folder. I could not open it so I know it is the right file. Don't you have access to the original FCREATE command?

That question is a doozie! What corner have you gotten yourself painted into?
More info would be helpful.
I think a string search on a FileToStr() on a LIST STATUS TO FILE might do it, but (Happy Days!) there aren't any Windows machines handy for me to test it.
I'll look at that Thanks Ted

In this particular scenario I do not have access to the FCREATE
