Yes he did. The solution would be to work with an 8.3 filename in QB and then use a SHELL "Cmd /C ren shortnme.ext longname.ext" in NT or XP.
Use SHELL "Command ........ in Win9x.

You DON'T wanna see anything hard that I have Noddy!
I said he posted everywhere. I'm not answering his rude butt anymore! I'm not keen on answering to you either.....
Perhaps we can talk when Puerto Rico wants to be a state. Instead of a bunch of freeloaders!
