Thanks for the help.

Path length File

I think the limit is 255 or perhaps less. Apparently less based on the

Is there a maximum number of charactors that VBA will recognize for
'ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename'?

I have code which used to update several (excel) files then save them to a
network file server. We have recently been required to migrate to a new
network directory/folder structure which contains 160 plus charactor
naming
convention. I have made the appropriate changes to point to the new
location,
but now I get an error which shuts down Excel.

Could the length of the file server/folder name be too long for Excel/VBA
to
recognize?

Thanks for any insights
