We keep getting this error when trying to open Excel files from within IE.
It's to do with the path length of the file names being too long. I
understand 218 is the maximum number of characters when working in Office
but, according to a M/soft article I've just read
(http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;416351&spid=2509&sid=216) this
can all be fixed when working within IE - that is, Excel running inside IE.
I've followed the steps - adding the registry Dword TruncateFileName and
setting it to 1 then deleting temp files - but it's made no difference.

Any ideas?
