Well.....

We have been looking at access ourselves lately. We have seen some differences between machines/windows versions???

BUT, I was able to dynamically access a folder whose name was much longer than 54 chars.

	access (48)
	path$ = "\\jim2008\comet\jim\JamesEdwardGuerber\comet\FolderWithALongNameIHope\AnotherLongNamedFolder"
	dir$ = "CHK"
	access (48) dir$ dir=path$ excp=AccErr

Now, keep in mind that the folder is not created by the access statement (should it?).

If the folder exists in windows, we will access it. I have not tried a path name longer than that above, which is 108 chars, i think.

What is the path name you tried?
