Mapped network drive not allowing long file names.

[zcandre]

I have a mapped network drive which is suddenly not allowing me to enter a file name over 8 characters. I'm using windows XP, it should and always has allowed long file names. When trying to copy a file with a long file name to this drive, I get a message saying "The drive that this file or folder is stored on does not allow long file names, or names containing blanks or any of the following characters:\/:,;*?"<>|"
....however this is simply not true. Has anyone had this problem before and can tell me what's going on?

On the directory you have setup what is the syntax?
EG C:\Program Files\Test\Test\ Test4\test etc?
And then what is the share name you gave it?

It's H:\Work\

If by share name you mean the name that is displayed for the drive in explorer, it is mjlazz on 'Nt_oesr_1\Users' (H

Ok, where that smiley face is I actually did want a colon and then a bracket!

It's ok, I've solved the problem. When users save files in the "My documents" folder this is saved onto H drive, which is mapped on startup. It just didn't map on startup this time.
