Long Filename from Short Filename?

[Paul Squires]

I hope someone can help me out with this one. I know how to convert
from a long filename to a short one, but how do you do it the other
way around??? I tried the GetFullPathName API but that doesn't
"expand" the short filename to the full Windows filename.

(BTW, the heading to this message should have read, "Short Filename
to Long Filename).

Never mind!

No sooner than I posted my plea for help did I stumble across
a great function that does the conversion.

It can be found at http://www.vb-world.net/files/tip511.html

It worked perfectly.
