The path is not that deep so we're starting to wonder if it is the conversion 
program that she is running.  Anyway, she said the senior programmer will 
examine it on Thursday.   I hope that gets the problem resolved as this has 
been an ongoing problem for the last couple of weeks.

Jon, I know what you mean.  I had a user that, when naming a file or folder. 
would actually write out the description in a sentence. Sometimes I wonder if I 
should post a message on all new computers:  "Just because you can, doesn't 
mean you should."

+1 on this!  I had a user that really LOVED to use descriptive folder names and 
file names as well as very deep trees.  She would about once a year need to 
have her system in the shop while I would rearrange files and folders so that 
she could get to the deepest of the folders.

How long is the deepest path?

I've seen file copying stuff screw up with monstrously long path names

Subject: file limitation error

I'm not sure if this is the proper forum for this question, but here goes:

We are storing scanned documents in one folder.  A file conversion program 
being run by one of our vendors is taking scanned documents from a Win2K server 
and putting them into a Win 2008r2 server.  The conversion is just to place 
them in a folder tree that is accessibly by our hospital EMR system.
After placing >1.5 million files in a considerable number of directories, and, 
the program is now generating an error:  Error Making Directory -Requested 
operation could not be comleted due to a file system limitation."
There is no compression of the folder or files (which is one thing that could 
cause that error).
Is this a call to PSS type of problem?
