I have a program that was written by a person that I no longer have access to, and I have a problem with the code on our website. There are two files: customers.dbf and customeremails.dbf. I need to open customers.dbf in the form customer~#dbf. How do I differentiate between the two files? Thanks,

You need to use the “DOS compatible” 8.3 format file names? If the partition lets you run the DIR command, I think that would be the best way to extract the information (use the /x command line switch). For example:

Code:

dir /x cust*.dbf

Any luck? Otherwise, I don’t know how you would determine the name the OS assigned.

Thanks for your help. I was able to figure out the format – since the file I was trying to access was second on the list, I needed to use custom~2#DBF to identify the file, and it worked. Thanks again,
