Yah, I'll second that. I realized after my last post in this thread that the limit is well below the 1024 characters that NTFS is supposed to support. 1024 characters would be 12 lines of text in an 80-column window. The paths we have issues with are much shorter. 254 characters (3 lines) might be it. You'd think Microsoft would use the same length limits throughout the various Windows components and subsystems, but they apparently don't. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
