Summary:
This information applies to Microsoft Visual Basic programming system
version 1.0 for Windows.
The following steps demonstrate a problem with Microsoft Windows 3.0;
the problem is not caused by Microsoft Visual Basic version 1.0:
1. Start Visual Basic.
2. From Visual Basic's File Menu, choose the Make EXE File command.
3. A Make EXE File dialog box will display. Enter a 40-character
filename in the File Name box.
4. Double-click the OK command button to exit the dialog box.
5. Minimize Visual Basic, go to the Windows Program Manager menu, and
choose File.
6. From the File menu, choose the Run option; the Run dialog box will
display.
7. Now enter that 40-character .EXE filename or path to the .EXE
filename in the Command Line box, and double-click OK when done.
8. The .EXE file will run correctly, but if you press CTRL+ESC to
bring up the Task List box, you will see that your .EXE filename
has been truncated to 39 characters (it no longer is 40
characters).
Microsoft has confirmed this problem in the Microsoft Windows version
3.0 operating system (buglist3.00). We are researching this problem
and will post new information here as it becomes available.
