Default Excel error: "The path you entered, ---------- , is too long. "

I get this error and must make the file name shorter even for files
previously saved and used. Is there a way to increase the allowable
characters for a file name. Even when opening a previously save file and
simply hit resave, the name must be shortened.

Maybe you can copy/move the file to a path that has a shorter length--kind of
like:

C:\onlytemp\yourfilename.xls

Then open it from there, save it there, and move it back where it belongs using
windows explorer when you're done.
