This is an application problem, not a Windows problem. Could not find an
online support forum for the product though. There may be one listed in the
program's Help file.

Meanwhile, you might try enclosing the long file names with quotes.
Example:"really_long_file_name.ext"

For Visual Cafe 4.51 (it might work with earlier releases) just right click on the properties, go to the Compatibility tag, and select "Windows 2000" for the operating system. It will then correctly handle files.
