Just curious: Normally YOU would create the filename, and then FCREATE() does its job. Why don't you know the filename you put into the function?

Or asked differently: Why do you have a FileHandle, but not the FileName? Sounds like a strange way of encapsulation :)

Hi Juergen
The FCREATE/FOPEN is used in several places throughout the code and I would need to somehow store and preserve the open file details. Being able to find the file from the file handle would be much more convenient

Hio Paul,
Add a collection (or Array) to _screen, with two columns. One for the filehandle, one for the filename. That way you can search for handle or name.
Or, more sophisticated: Create an helperobject for the various F* functions to work directly with that collection, which would then be part of that object. That way you could add a GetFileNameFromHandle method and many more. Added benefit would be an automatic FClose if that object goes south. :)

AFAIK the VFP file handle is internal to VFP and does not equate to a Windows hFile, and as such trying to use Windows API functions like GetFileNameByHandle won't work.
An ideal case for a manager class I reckon.
Thanks Alan - that would definitely need to be investigated Paul
