Linking a DBF file with a filename longer than 8 characters

I noticed that there has been a soloution to this posted which says do the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\ISAM Formats\dBase IV

change the SupportsLongNames reg value from 00 to 01.

I have done this and rebooted my machine, and I still get the error message:

"The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object '2006 03 21 0000 AndonTakt (Float).DBF'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path correctly."

Is there a soloution to this BTW running Access2003 on an xp pro machine.
