Note This limitation includes the three characters that represent the drive, the characters in folder names, the backslash character between folders, and the characters in the file name. Workaround Make sure that the path of the file contains no more than the maximum number of characters. To do this, use one of the following methods. * Rename the file so that it has a shorter name. * Rename one or more folders that contain the file so that they have shorter names. * Move the file to a folder that has a shorter path name.

I pasted below the error message for reference. Microsoft Office Excel A DDE error has occurred and a description of the error cannot be displayed because it is too long. If the filename or path is long, try renaming the file or coping it to a different folder The file that I was trying to open was sent to me via email, so upon looking on the error message above, I instantly asked for another copy of the file. But when I opened the newly sent file, same thing happens; I can't open it, because of the same error message I received. They already sent me twice the file but unfortunately I cannot open it. Please help me find what went wrong. Thanks a lot buddies. Asked Craigmull on Thu, 2011-08-11 08:55 Cr
