If you try to open a file with a URL that is too http://sympmarc.com/2010/02/04/microsoft-excel-error-there-was-a-problem-sending-the-command-to-the-program/ long, you get the following error message: The URL for this file is too long for the application. A temporary copy of this file will be opened dde error on your computer. You must save this copy as 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 sharepoint dde error with more than 218 characters in the path and filename, you receive the 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).
