Hello everybody!
 I would like to get the  obtain the full path and filename for the
executable file associated with a given process whose identifier I know...
I found this on Borland Help:
"To obtain the full path and filename for the executable file containing the
process code, use the GetModuleFileName function."
Well the first parameter of this function is:
HMODULE hModule, // handle to module to find filename for

I thought that could be the handle given by the OpenProcess function, but
with that GetModuleFileName always fails... any idea how to get that
hModule? Or if is there another way to get the "process' exe filename" ??

Thank You in advance!
Stefano B.
