Max .xls file name in windows

P

Parag Mahajan

Hi,

I would like to know, if there is any limit on the max length of .xls
filename and filepath.

On the path "C:\Documents and Settings\parag_mahajan\Desktop"
I am able to create a file name of xls file upto 170 characters (166
characters for filename and .xls = 4 chars), which opens up properly.
Also does it have to do anything with the file path length.?? since, when

& On the path, "C:\"
I can open the xls file with length upto 215 characters (211 + 4 for .xls).

And if I try to add one more character to the file name , the MS excel says,
it cannot find the file.
I want to create xls file with a name upto 255 characters. (255 + 4 for
..xls) Is this possible?

So, does anyone have solution over this.?

Thanks,
Parag.
