Hi there,
What is max file path for a file if accessed locally or through a
server share? Thanks, Calin

Tester,

255 chars + 1 (the '+1' is a null terminating character)

In coding it's usual practise to allow 260 spaces for the buffer.

 

[John John]

260 characters. 4 characters are use by the following:

- Driveletter
- Colon
- Backslash
- Ending Nul Charater

That leaves 256 character for the rest of the path:

d:\<256 chars>nul
