Every time we try to attach a reference file, it tells us we are over
the 65 character limit and to fix the CFGVAR. I have done this but it
still will not let me attach any files? What do I do?

Hello horn83,

What changes have you made? Which cfg files have you altered? Are your
long-path problems confined to one project, or is it site-level? Can you
post examples?

The workaround for the 65-char-limit:
Write some custom cfgvars that define parts of the path(s). Use the cfgvars
to build add'l defs for MS_RFDIR. These cfgvars might usefully live in
standards.cfg, in <project>.pcf, or a combination of the 2. When adding vars
to the pcf, add them to the project.template file as well if you want them
to copy to new projects created by uStn Mgr. DO NOT define any MS_RFDIR
values in the ucf - they will step on defs in the pcf.

MS_RFDIR1 = c:/the/path/to/my/desired/reference/
MS_RFDIR2 = directoryA/is/quite/unreasonably/long/
MS_RFDIR3 = directoryB/is/also/extraordinarily/lengthy/
MS_RFDIR > $(MS_RFDIR1)$(MS_RFDIR2)
MS_RFDIR > $(MS_RFDIR1)$(MS_RFDIR3)

HTH,
Jeffrey Malter
