    Hi Nimeshika,



    Windows has a limit on file path length of 259 characters (including the drive name, folder name and file name). It's an operating system limitation, not TestComplete's.



    If you're hitting the path length limit, move your project closer to the drive root For example, use C:\TestProject rather than C:\Work\RegressionTests\trunk\TestProject.

    Hi Nimeshika



    You may want to have a look at this entry on Wikipedia.



    I'm not sure whether TestComplete influences file length, but the OS definately will :)
