Only allowing 31 characters is a limitation of not using the new Nav Services sheet-based calls. I discovered this while developing my FileSpec and FileSelect libraries for carbonization. The main issue with using the new Nav Services calls under 9 is that there seem to be a lot of issues with FSRefs under CarbonLib. -- Glenn L.
