Hi:

I found something which I'd like someone else to test.
If it holds true, it should be good to let everyone know.

If you try to edit a file in VFP5 using it's short file name,
VFP5 will erase the original file!

I know it's not usual to do that but sometimes, especially after 10 or 12
straight hours of coding, one can be tempted to do it.

MODI COMM THIS_IS_A_VERY_LONG_FILE_NAME && of course my filenames are not THAT long
Write something and save
MODI COMM THIS_I~1 && the short filename
File is empty!!!!!!!!!
MODI COMM THIS_IS_A_VERY_LONG_FILE_NAME && original file
File is empty!!!!!!!!!

Please let me know if the same holds true for you.
Is it documented in the KB or BUG LIST?
