Long Path/Filenames

[Brenda from Michigan]

On occassion I have users who are having trouble opening or saving a Word
document. Research determines they have extremely long path and or filenames
on a network drive. However, the reported behavior is inconsistent - one
person gets an error, can't save a file, can't open a file, etc., but other
people in the work area with idential setups and PC configurations have no
trouble. Generally they believe me when they save the file to their desktop
to use it and the problems cease.

Does anyone know of any documentation that addresses the issue of long paths
on network drives? Thank you.
