I do this to myself, sometimes, too :) So, you can open other files (likely with shorter filenames, right?) in the same location. I'd be willing to bet if you shortened THIS filename as a test, to something like a.xls, you'd be able to open it. Try that and let us know.

If you try to open a file with a URL that is too long, you get the following error message: http://www.office-forums.com/threads/a-dde-error-has-occurred-filename-too-long.925905/ The URL for this file is too long for the application. A temporary copy of this file will be opened on your computer. You must save this copy as dde error a new file. Today, we came across a similar error message and discovered there is a limitation for Excel files of 218 characters – this is the path length limitation whether it's a URL or a file share path. If you try to open an Excel file with more than 218 characters in the path and filename, you receive the dde error has following error: 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 copying it to a different folder. The Microsoft article for this issue is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271513. The solution is to shorten the file path or URL by storing files at the top level (rather than "nesting" files under several folder levels).

raised this in a couple of other communities - sorry to duplicate but I don't understand the procedure to cross-post) We keep getting this error when trying to open Excel files from within IE. It's to do with the path length of the file names being too long. I understand 218 is the maximum number of characters when working in Office but, according to a M/soft article I've just read (http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;416351&spid=2509&sid=216) this can all be fixed when working within IE - that is, Excel running inside IE. I've followed the steps - adding the registry Dword TruncateFileName and setting it to 1 then deleting temp files - but it's made no difference. Any ideas?
