hello, ive looked for decent OleDb Groups but have not found any....

Is there a Way to configure oledb jet.4.0 to
read long filenames
dbase III, dbase IV , etc
I changed the Registry key to 01 to accept long file names , that did not
work

in my class im Renaming the File to a short name , then renaming it back to
the original long file name, this works
are there any better ways?


thanks
 
Analizer1,

If you need the short file name, you could always convert it using the
GetShortPathName Windows API function through the P/Invoke layer.
 
dbase III, dbase IV , etc

Impressing!

..net and so on but still not dropping dBase... Clipper reads that
without conversion but it dont understand what a mouse is..or anything
but 8.3 ;)

I do not need short File Names
the files come into our business from internet users as long file names

these are dbase files and long names are not supported far as i know....

jet 3,5 0r jet 4.0 registry settings are long file name are not supported

I will test with the GetShortPathName

Thanks

Click to expand...

..NET has nothing to do with it. The support for dBase was baked into
the OLEDB Jet Provider long before .NET.

..NET simple has an ADO.NET provider that handles OLEDB providers.
 
i understand the oledb is not net...
as i said earlier...were programming using c#
ado net...
so i was only asking for peoples experiences with
the underlying provider .

thanks
