No Alias file name on a other drive then C:

[herman]

Jos,

If I run my applications on a drive other than a c-drive,

then there is no Alias filename (files with ~ 1) available.



I use the Alias filename to check a intern follow up,

whether that file also exists within the internal environment of dBase,

in order to be able to accept a necessary follow-up in multiple

processes to be performed.

You’ll have to check the settings of the OS managing that drive. Apparently creation of SFN (8.3) is disabled, or not supported.

Thanks for your quick replay

Behind the CMD-prompt: fsutil set 0

Never heard of it and never had to deal with it because I always ran the APPs on the C-drive
and there was no problem and reason to do it in a other way, but made the solution in one go.
