I'm using C++ and accessing a UNC path across the network. This path is slightly greater than MAX_PATH. So I cannot obtain a file handle.
But if I run the program on the computer in question, the path is not greater than MAX_PATH. So I can get a file handle. If I rename the file to have less characters (minus length of computer name) I can access the file.
Can this file be accessed across the network even know the computer name in the UNC path puts it over the MAX_PATH limit?
