Funny that several of us should encounter this same problem within a matter of days.
Just today, I ran into this problem myself (my FileIO wrapper object only deletes the file if the new file is shorter than the old, so it hadn't popped up until I tried to save a shortened file...I've used external casts or vList Xtra to save data up to this point). It seems that fileIOXtra.openFile() balks at long file names and requires baShortFileName(), but fileIOXtra.createFile() balks at baShortFileName(). Using the full file name in fileIOXtra.fileCreate() seems to work fine. Using baShortFileName() on a the fileName seems to work with fileIOXtra.fileOpen(). This is on Windows XP in D8.5.1.
