Excel 2003 Filenames I attached to emails gets truncated e.g. 2008608~3.XLS
upon receipt instead of actual filename 20060818-TTDL-WT.xls Please help

Both the "Operating Systems" should be same, otherwise it will happen.

Receipient operating system does not support your file system and hence it
happened. Receipient operating system allows only nine charactors in file
name.

Maybe it's the email program that's using the DOS short name (8 characters dot 3
characters) that's causing the trouble.

Maybe asking the question in a support group for whatever email program you use
would be helpful.

Me. I'd take the excel file and zip it into a file called a.zip. I bet when
the recipient extracted the file from the zip file, it would still have the long
name.
