Hi Colin,
I think the maximum filename length is 255 characters. That must be an
enormous file since it's a .wav file.
Cheers,
Mike

Greetings,
I attempted to move a file named:
"Classic Serial The Complete Smiley - The Karla Trilogy Book 3 - Smiley's
People 3 - Smiley moves the operation to Berne. But can he be sure he's the
hunter, not the hunted.wav"
from
c:\attachments
to
k:\Radio Drama and readings\Classic Serials yet to be processed
and received a message advising the file could not be moved either because
the file name was invalid or the file name was too long.
surely, if there is a file name length limit, why would XP Home allow me to
create a file with such a name? The file name is not invalid else I would
never have been allowed to create it so what is the maximum length allowed
for a file to be moved/copied? and can anybody suggest what is wrong with
the filename to have it reported invalid?
Thanks.
