Path too deep

[Guest]

Not finding too much help on this subject, I'm hoping someone can help me.
I have people working on zipped files on their pc's and copying them to the
file server when done. As of a few days ago it doesn't work. We all get the
same error during the file copy "Path too Deep" then it backs off what it
copied and leaves a corrupt file on the file server. The path, I believe is
about five folders deep and the name of the file doens't exceed the limit. We
all are on WinXPSP2 and are using Office 2K3 and Winzip 9.0.

Please help.
Thanks

It does not matter how many levels you have in your path. What matters
is the number of characters. I believe the limit is about 250. How long is
the sum of your path + file name?

The file name character limit is 255.
