If you use a long file name to save your data access page in Design view, users running Windows 3.1 won't be able to find or open your data access page, because Windows 3.1 recognizes and supports only short file names (maximum of eight characters, plus a three-character file extension). To always save files with short file names, do the following:

  1. Open the data access page in Design view.

  2. On the Tools menu, click Options.

  3. Click the General tab, and then click Web Options.

  4. In the Web Options dialog box, click the Files tab.

  5. Under File names and locations, clear the Use long file names whenever possible check box.
