CD-ROM contains short filenames ------------------------------- Windows 95 using Real-mode (MS-DOS) CD-ROM drivers and Windows NT 3.51 are both unable to read the long filenames on the companion CD-ROM for the book "Hitchhiker's Guide to Visual Basic and SQL Server." NAMEXPAN.EXE is a utility that copies the short CD-ROM filenames to a hard disk and then renames the short filenames to their original long filenames. The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center: NAMEXPAN.EXE (http://download.microsoft.com/download/vb40pro/MSPRESS/2.0/WIN98Me/EN-US/NAMEXPAN.EXE) For additional information about how to download Microsoft Support files, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q119591 How to Obtain Microsoft Support Files from Online Services Microsoft used the most current virus detection software available on the date of posting to scan this file for viruses.
