URL file path is to long

HopeJ
HopeJ July 26, 2011

Occasionally when opening files this error occurs

A DDE error has occurred, and a description of the error cannot be displayed because it is too long. If the filename or path is long, try renaming the file or copying it to a different folder.

Understand this is a windows problem but does anyone know of a quick fix as it is not always consistant in number of characters. Windows say 220 but have known it to fail with 212?
