Hello Jim,

This could be due to a couple things. Either you are using special
characters in the file names or the path to the files is too long.

If the path is too long, try using the SUBST command to map to the half way
point in the path. Then see if you can access the files from the mapped
drive. If you can, then shorten up the path.

180410 Cannot Access Folder Because the Path Is Too Long or Deep
