Hi Tony, I do this thing quite often, using a little trick. Since DP can only create files with 8.3 names, I use names selected in a particular way, based in some abbreviated way on the actual desired filename.
Then, in a separate DP report, I create a DEPLOY.BAT batch file consisting of commands like the following: MOVE ACID1.HTM SortAscendingChannelIDPage1.html MOVE ACID2.HTM SortAscendingChannelIDPage2.html ... MOVE DM2.HTM SortDescendingMonikerPage2.html Then, after running the report which creates all of 8.3 named files, I exit DP and run the DEPLOY.BAT program to rename the files to the desired names. Hope this technique helps.
