SYMPTOMS
Opening a Visual Basic project with a long file name, using any method
other than starting Visual Basic and then opening the project, results in
Visual Basic opening the project using the short file name, causing the
short file name to appear on the title bar of the project.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
RESOLUTION
Perform the following steps to resolve the problem:
- Start Windows Explorer. From the View menu, select Options.
- Click the File Types tab. Double-click Visual Basic Project in the
Registered file types list box. The Edit File Type window appears.
- Double-click Open in the Action list box. The Editing action for type:
Visual Basic Project dialog box appears.
- In the Application used to perform action: text box, put quotation
marks (" ") around the Command line for Visual Basic. The text should
look like the following:
"C:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Visual Basic\vb32.exe" "%1"
- Click OK, and close all windows and dialog boxes.
Now when you open a Visual Basic project with a long file name, the long
file name appears on the title bar of the project.
