Saving File to Windows NT 3.51 Server Loses Long File Name (159013)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51
This article was previously published under Q159013 SUMMARY
If you open a file in Microsoft Excel version 5.0c or Microsoft Word
version 6.0 using the short file name on a Windows NT 3.51 server, if the
file has a long file name the long file name is lost when you save the
file.
MORE INFORMATION
This behavior occurs only when you save a file to a Windows NT 3.51 server.
Microsoft Excel and Word save the file in a temporary file, delete the
original file, and rename the temporary file to the original name. Because
Microsoft Excel 5.0c and Word 6.0 are not aware of the long file names,
they use short names in this process. Therefore, the original long file
name is lost after the delete and rename sequence.
