Check the directory path names. Should be less than 260 characters
(MAX_PATH). The path length will include every subfolder in a path down to,
and including the filename itself.

Also check for invalid characters anywhere in the file path (including the
filename itself).

Well, ok. Let me clarify. The characters / \ ? : * " < > and | are illegal
for filenames. However, the "Save As" dialogs won't let you enter these
characters when naming or renaming a file.
