Jay,
not only do you need to be concerned with the length of the
filename, there is a max length for a URL; which many people
run into

Steve :

256 Thats the issue we have, when the path is included in
the name we go over 256.

It's now a client rename issue !!!

Thanks,
Jay

Remember that FrontPage is designed to create WorldWide Web sites. I am
emphasizing "WorldWide" here. Think of your desktop as a nicely-tended
garden, surrounded no doubt by walls that shelter it from the big bad world
of the WWW out there. But you're not developing something for your garden.
You're developing something for the whole WWW, and that means the whole
world. Microsoft can control with great efficiency what happens on your
desktop garden, and can manage what language to use, what the size of fonts
are, whether you can use spaces in file names, the length of file names, and
almost everything else, as they wrote your Operating Sytem. But Microsoft
doesn't control the world, despite rumors to the contrary. Microsoft can't
tell the world of browser designers that they all need to accomodate any
length URL. So, when developing in the future, make sure to think about the
whole world, and what IT expects of your web.

And keep this Mantra in mind: What works locally doesn't necessarily work
globally. Like what time it is, for example.
