The limit is actually 260 characters. Not that it helps much :-) However, there's a way (well, hack) to overcome this limit using special UNC pathnames like \\?\C:\very\long\path\here or \\?\UNC\server\share\very\long\path. The "only" issue is that not all tools in the chain are using this hack... Jan
