Hi Judith, I'm sure my answer isn't the best .. and maybe not even correct, but I think I remember seeing somewhere Win32 API routines for converting file paths from the long format to short (8.3) format. I don't know if anyone has wrapped these in Euphoria yet, but I imagine it would overcome the problem.
