Bill - You must not be using a Macintosh workstation... ;-) The msg is in the 5.2 Messages manual that I'm PDF-browsing; but the manual says little more than the file name being too long, and to consult your platform B/A manual for the length limits. If you're seeing this just sporadically, then you may have a few rogue files on the Windows box. You might try running a commercial disk and file system checker to find any abnormalities out there, to identify if not fix them. Richard Sims
