Short File Name

I am trying to convert The Windows Long Path To Dos Short Path
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\
C:\Progra~1\Micros~1\

I was useing the

Declare Function GetShortPathName Lib "kernel32" (ByVal lpszLongPath As String, ByVal lpszShortPath As String, ByVal cchBuffer As Long) As Long

but, i get the error
"Can Not Find GetShortPathName Insertion Point In Kernel32"

Is there another way to do this?

you don't have the ALIAS in your API call.

Use the code from here: This will show you how to use the API, etc. etc.

I see you didn't like my other answer. FINE! BE THAT WAY! Just use your fancy API that is less code and more reliable. I DON'T CARE! :)
