ShortPath Property

Returns the short path used by programs that require the earlier 8.3 file naming convention.

object.ShortPath

The object is always a File or Folder object.

Remarks

The following code illustrates the use of the ShortName property with a File object:

Function ShowShortPath(filespec)
   Dim fso, f, s
   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Set f = fso.GetFile(filespec)
   s = "The short path for " & UCase(f.Name) & "<BR>"
   s = s & "is: " & f.ShortPath 
   ShowShortPath = s
End Function
