'ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename'
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 - -TB- - |

Path length File
I think the limit is 255 or perhaps less. Apparently less based on the following http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;131464 "Filename Is Not Valid" Error Saving or Opening File -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "TOMB" wrote in message ...
