i know, i know :-)

again: i know, but i have to show the user the full path + file...if i would use it
internal in the program, i realy wouldn't care about it:-)

Remy, i've tryed: GetLongPathName() but the compiler didn't recognized it
what do i need to include..? i've choosed FindFirstFile() instead,
but it returns me ONLY the filename !
i need the full path + filename...


here's what i got...don't expect too much i'm very, very tired :-)
/*********************************************************/
AnsiString TfrmMainUnit::GetTempFile()
{
    char TempDir[MAX_PATH + 1]; TempDir[MAX_PATH] = '\0';
    GetTempPath(MAX_PATH, TempDir);

    String filename = "ShowRecord-Tempfile",
           newPath = TempDir + filename;

    WIN32_FIND_DATA FindFileData;
    HANDLE hFind = FindFirstFile(newPath.c_str(), &FindFileData);

    if(hFind != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
    {
       FindClose(hFind);
       //ShowMessage(FindFileData.cFileName); // Check before returning..
       return(FindFileData.cFileName);
    }
    else
    {
       ShowMessage("Invalid File Handle. GetLastError reports: " + GetLastError());
       return(0);
    }
}
