That was for .Open, not sure for .SaveAs, but you could test.
Also, I have seen different behaviour using .SaveAs v. SaveCopyAs with
Unicode paths.
The former fails, the latter succeeds with exactly the same Path/Filename.

You saving all these files with the same path also ?
Excel 2K will error on full path+filename over 218 chars.
Although not with that error, but 'File Cannot be found"

The thing is Dave, it only falls over when upgrading this one
particular workbook. Like I say, if I shorten the workbook's name to 58
characters or less it runs fine.

Other workbooks with equally long filenames, in the same format as
mentioned above (there are no non-alpha-numeric characters), don't have
a problem.
