Default Excel 2000 58 character Filename Limit?

Does anyone have any guesses as to why my Excel 2000 template might be
crashing, with an automation error, when it tries to save a workbook
with a filename longer than 58 characters (including extension)?

Bizarrely the workbook will have originally been created and saved by
the same template - the filename having been derived from information
provided by the user at startup.

Now I have built an upgrade facility into the template so that old
workbooks can have their data pulled into new copies of a modified
template. It is after upgrading and then saving a backup copy of the
old Workbook and/or the upgraded copy that Excel decides to get fussy
about the length of filename.

Anybody any clues?
