Re: Get fileinformation from a form with Developer 2000 R2.1

Hi Mark,

I'm not sure if this is what you need, but if you're on a Windows platform, there are quite a few nice functions in the D2KWUTILS.PLL library (open_file and save_file for example) which call windows APIs for this sort of thing... You may be able to use them, or simply modify them for your use.
