URGENT - DOS Name

[SteveAudus]

I am trying to delete a file in a directory
using a logon script but I can't get the old dos name..

Please help quick!!!
the file is

C:\Program Files\SIMS\SIMS .net\LessonMonitor.mdb

I have got

c:\progra~1\sims\Sims .net\Lesson~1.mdb

But it's the "Sims .net" bit I can not get?

Can anyone help, Please....

Have you tried putting the long filename in quotes? Eg.

DEL "C:\Program Files\SIMS\SIMS .net\LessonMonitor.mdb"

If you type DIR /X you will get the file in the old 8.3 format.
