Path/Filename Length Limitiation

[mhaff]

I am trying to copy a file from a local drive to a network drive. The total length of the path and filename is about 240 chars. I'm getting an error regarding file format. Is this due to the length of the file name? If so, what is the limitation?

Thanks.

The limitation is supposed to be 255 characters but you have to include your server name and volume name into that figure. For example

\\MYSERVER\VOL1

However the figure may also include the full distinguished name of the volume
