How do I get the same path format using f.NativePath as I did using f.AbsolutePath?

It seems that f.NativePath produces a different path format than f.AbsolutePath. I require the older format, but the newest Xojo requires me to use NativePath. How do I get it back into this old format?

You get AbsolutePath back if you use MBS Xojo Plugins. It’s in the Util plugin for some time now.

And if you don’t want or can’t use Plugins: Have a look at this Thread.
Note: The Code-Snipplet in the other Thread is messed up because of the Forum transition… there is some code above/below the section that’s a “Code-Block”.
