Common Dialog FileName buffer too small?

[sjerrett]

I am using the common dialog control in Vb6 with multi-select turned on. When I do a ShowOpen, I am able to navigate to the folder I want and select multiple files. However, when 40+ files are selected, the procedure returns an error stating that the size of the FileName buffer needs to be increased.

Has anyone else had this error?
How do you expand the FileName buffer (I am assuming the error is referring to the FileName property of the control).

Set MaxFileSize property to 32767. That is still a limit.
