Long File/Folder names

[BobbyT]

Using VP6 I was able to create a long folder name using indirect reference.
But I have not been able to "SET DEFAULT TO" this name. Is this a
limitation in VP6 or should I keep trying until I get it
right?

EXAMPLE:

FOLDER="Long Folder Name"
MD (FOLDER)

Just for kicks, try using CD rather than SET DEFAULT TO.

Either SET DEFAULT TO or CD will work but you have to do it this way:
CD (FOLDER)
SET DEFAULT TO (FOLDER)

OR

CD "Long Folder Name"
SET DEFAULT TO "Long Folder Name"
Using quotes when there are spaces in the folder name.

Be sure that you include the drive designator ("C:\Long Folder name&quot where applicable. it never hurst to give too much information in this case.
