RECORDSET file name length limit?
 

Here's a snippet of the code I'm using:

oConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & strFilePath & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited"""

Set oRS = CreateObject("ADODB.RECORDSET")

'Now actually open the text file and import into Excel
oRS.Open "SELECT * FROM " & strFilename, oConn, 3, 1, 1


When I do the oRS.Open, it fails to find the file. I renamed the file
to something shorter, and it works. Is there a limit to the length of
the file name or the path for this operation? Was it that my file name
contained multiple dots, or an underscore? I could test each of these,
and I probably will (it is still running, the file is... rather
large...) but if someone knows what the problem is then that would be
nice.

RECORDSET file name length limit?
 

It seems to have been the extra . in the filename, it was in the form
XXXX.YYYY.csv. Very annoying, I don't want to have to rename my files,
so I have to copy it to a different file name and then delete the
temporary copy after.
