Hi folks, I have an ACCESS-DB with a lot of subdirectories within the working directory. The path consists of long directorynames. I´ll get an error messages like "This working directory is invalid"

There are no problems starting this application direct from the citrix server - mappings are correct

Is there a way to make Citrix capable for long pathnames?

Thanx
 
Is this app published under NT4/MF1.8? We used to have this same problem with long file name directories. In order to get it to work we had to truncate the long directory names to the 8.3 format in order to make it work. Don't know if this applies to you though.
 
if you have any spaces in the path, you will need to enclose it in "quotes"
 
I do have spaces in the path. Enclosing it in "quotes" leads to following error message: File names cannot contain any of the following characters /*?"
