	" a été créé dans le répertoire " + fExtractPath(NomFichier, fDrive + fDirectory))

	" a été créé dans le répertoire " + fExtractPath(NomFichier, fDrive + fDirectory))

Syntax

<Result> = fFileName(<File used>)

<Result>: Character string

Name and full path of the external file.
<Result> is a character string of the same type as the one passed to fOpen, fCreate or fOpenTempFile:
If these functions handled an Ansi character string, <Result> will be in Ansi format.
If these functions handled a Unicode character string, <Result> will be in Unicode format.

<File used>: Integer or DiskFile variable

Identifier of the file to use, defined by fOpen, fCreate or fOpenTempFile.
Name of the DiskFile variable initialized with fOpen, fCreate or fOpenTempFile.

Remarks

Operating mode in Windows Vista (and later)

If this function does not work properly in Windows Vista (and later), check whether the file or directory used is not in one of the system directories (Windows directory or "Program Files" directory).

In Windows Vista (and later), with the UAC mechanism (User Account Control) enabled, you must have administrator privileges to handle and/or modify the files or directories in system directories (Windows directory or "Program Files" directory).

Programming tip: If you need to manipulate / modify files or directories, without needing administrator privileges, it is advisable:

avoid writing to the Windows directory or to the "Program Files" directory,
use the system directory of the application (returned by SysDir with the srAppDataCommun constant, for example).
