Long path name error

Mac Baker Nov 18, 2009 8:59 AM

I'd like to be able to work from home on occasion. Seems that I was running into a long pathname error on most of my files last night.

I'm logging into the PDM works website and my PC bombs whenever I try to get latest. I'm guessing it's a character issue / problem with 32 bit software.

Other than renaming what things should I consider before I'm forced to upgrade my machine to a 64 bit platform?

Hi Mac,

what kind of error was that? Can you tell us a description or name?

And I can tell you that 32bit or 64bit doesn't change the amount of characters you can use in a path or filename (255).

  The error message simply stated that the "Path name was too long".
  
  I am logging into PDM's website to access my files when experiencing this problem and had been advised that the 64 bit machines are not experiecing the same problems.

    Hi Mac -
    
    Are you using the contributor web client?

      Joy,
      I'm not sure what a contributor web client is......I was hooking in at http:\\pdmworks\mycompanyname.com and logging on.
      Upon doing that I was presented with a windows explorer like interface. I did not see an opportunity to install additional interactive software options.
      
      At this point, I was able to browse around and drill into the folders and RMB and ask to get lates on certain folders. After a 10 seconds or so, I'd get presented with a long file path error message.
