Christophe I should imagine that (at least your version of) MB/MI is adhering to the old DOS 8-char name and 3-char extension format (or at least just the extension part). I'd suggest you ensure your file has only a 3 char extension.

Open statment truncates the filename and tries to open "file.spe" instead Any idea ?
