I'm using the ENUMGROUP function and it's working properly. Except when the returned string has a lenth that exceeds 31 characters Strings returned by the ENYMGROUP function that are longer then 31 characters are trunced at the 31th char. Is this normal behaviour?

I can't remember ever using EnumGroup on groups longer than 31 characters, but I think it's pretty safe to say that's not normal behavior. If you can, post the code portion that's producing the problem and we can help you out.

I think if you Google around, you'll find that group names in Win2K were limited to 31 chars.. only Win2K3 and later support longer names. That's why when you create a new group, there are 2 names. (It could be NT/2K - my memory isn't what it used to be!)
I'd wager that Kix returns the Win2K-compatible name. Since Ruud's been poking around again, we might want to see if this can be updated, maybe to use an optional arg to specify the new, full-length groupname.
