Hi Marcel,

Just one more thought on this. The question occurred to me as to why a 32 bit application would create a link file with a short file name? The answer is that it wouldn't. A 16 bit app would. That may be the problem that you're facing. Further, a 16 bit application cannot resolve the long file name which it would get when you tried to activate the application. I don't know, and can't test from here, if using the short file name in the APPEND GENERAL command will work or not. It is, however, something that you should consider.

hth,
