Yup...those are DOS-sized 8.3 file names if I ever saw one.

So far, nothing else is acting badly, and I have been needing a good excuse
to move my stuff over to a new Win7 system. I can't just sit here and let
everyone else enjoy the pain and suffering of "the 7."

Thanks for the lead, Bill. The older I get the more I have to look into VFP
Help to remember what I forgot!
