The total length of the path and the file name, including file name extension and also encoded lenght, all should not be more than Microsoft Word: The total length of the path and the file name, including file name extension, exceeds 259 characters. Microsoft PowerPoint: The total length of the path and the file name, including file name extension, exceeds 259 characters. Microsoft Access: The total length of the path and the file name, including file name extension exceeds 259 characters. Microsoft Excel: The total length of the path and the file name, including file name extension, exceeds 218 characters. To fix this 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. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325573 Marked as answer by Emir LiuMicrosoft contingent staff Friday, March 29, 2013 5:17 AM Monday, March 18, 2013 7:58 PM Reply | Quote Microsoft is conducting an online survey to understand your opinion of the Msdn Web site.

I was trying to open a Microsoft Excel 2013 file (.xlsx) in Windows 8.1 but whenever I tried to open it, I received following error message: There was a problem sending the command http://www.askvg.com/fix-there-was-a-problem-sending-the-command-to-the-program-error-message-in-windows/ to the program. There was no problem in the file. Also the error message was http://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/12963-excel-error-when-opening-documents-problem-sending-command.html coming only once. After clicking on the OK button and trying to open the file again, it opened without any problem. It was happening each time I started my computer. I searched and found various solutions for this problem. So today in this tutorial, I'm going to share all possible solutions to fix this irritating issue. I hope it'll there was come handy for some people. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When you try to open a Microsoft Office file such as a Word document, Excel spreadsheet, Access database file, etc, you receive following error messages: There was a problem sending the command to the program. OR Windows cannot find the file, Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. OR Cannot find the file (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename there was a are correct and that all required libraries are available. After getting the error message, following things might happen: CASE 1: The error message is shown only once and you'll be able to open the file in second attempt. CASE 2: The error message is shown each time you try to open the file. PROBLEM REASON: According to Microsoft KB article, this problem occurs due to Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) feature. DDE is a type of communication protocols which is used by Windows to open certain filetypes which require this protocol for communication between source and target programs. DDE mechanism is used to prevent unnecessary opening of multiple instances of a program if one instance of that program is already running in background. So basically DDE helps Windows in saving computer resources so that you get better performance from your computer. Now lets talk about our problem! The above mentioned error message appears when Windows sends DDE command to MS Office application but Windows fails to connect with the application, thus it shows the error message in return. PROBLEM SOLUTION: We talked about 2 cases above! If CASE 1 is applicable to you i.e. you receive the error message only once and then you are able to open the file, you can ignore this problem. Nothing bad is going to happen with your

The full error reads: There was a problem sending the command to the program. This is actually an older Excel problem that appears to have returned with my upgrading to Windows 10. This error is presented whenever I try to open any excel file (tried .xls .xlsm .xlsx) by double clicking on it and right clicking and selecting "Open". I can open Excel by itself and go to FILE->Open and all the files open just fine that way. I've tried all of the following: Disable all COM and Excel add-insDisable hardware accelerationCheck "Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)", close excel, try to re-open file, accept error then go back and uncheck "Ignore other applications...", close excel again, try to re-open files againGo to registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open and backup/export then delete ddeexec (completed same process for Excel.Sheet.12, Excel.Sheet.8 and Excel.Macrosheet)Go to same locations in registry but instead go to "command" key and change (Default) value from: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Root\Office15\EXCEL.EXE" /dde to: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Root\Office15\EXCEL.EXE" /e "%1" (completed same process for Excel.Sheet.12 and Excel.Sheet.8)All of the various methods mentioned here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3001579 DDE method (already tried above)I don't have User Experience Virtualization (UE-V)Reset file associationsRepair Office (tried both Quick and Online repairs)Turn off add-ons (already tired above)Disable hardware acceleration (already tired above)Check for updates (everything is up-to-date)Verified that all files and shortcuts are not setup to run in compatibility modeVerified that excel is not set to run as administrator (same for the files) I actually had some limited success with the attempt colored in blue above. The .xlsx document did actually open (rather than the typical blank/empty Excel window) but the "problem sending the command" error still shows up. I haven't trie
