Are Long Filenames possible?

Post by melmitts707 » Thu Jan 19, 2006 6:32 pm

When I try to copy/rename a file, the filename results in an 8.3 format.

ie. CopyFile>MyDocument.doc,MyDocument.bak

returns MyDocume.bak

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

You need to provide the full path on the destination. It needs a drive and folder spec.
