This article was previously published under Q130140



SYMPTOMS
SourceSafe might not retrieve long filenames correctly on a computer running Windows NT even if the long filenames option is checked from the GUI and the LONG_FILENAMES variable is added to one of the .INI files.



CAUSE
SourceSafe for Windows NT supports long filenames only if the drive is a mounted NTFS drive. Even though Windows NT FAT drives support long filenames, SourceSafe for Windows NT writes the file as an 8.3 filename.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

This bug was corrected in Visual SourceSafe version 4.0.
