PROBLEM:
When you try to open an excel or word file you get an error message like:
'path to filename\filename.xls' could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct.
CAUSE:
The cause could be that the length of the full path of the Office document exceeds the maximum path length allowed. The full path of the Microsoft Office document includes the drive letter or server name, and all characters and folder names up to and including the name of the document. The entire path cannot be longer than 242 characters in Word, or 218 in Excel.
SOLUTION:
Make the complete path to the document shorter by saving it in a location that has fewer nested folders, or by shortening the file name of the document.
