Question:

I'm using the n4FileUsers function, and am getting the error, "135: Invalid Path". Turns out that I've discovered that I get this error when my file and directory names are greater than 8 characters.

Can't this function handle long filenames?

Answer:

None of the original Netware functions handle long filenames. You'll need to convert all filepaths to short filenames with the FileNameShort function.

NOTE: The NetwareX Extender functions can handle long filenames.
