Re: Long filenames presented via Access DB do not work

You problem is not the length of the file name but the spaces in it
If you can't remove the spaces from the file names (recommended),
try adding the explicit space encoding (%20) to your DB link
\computername\share$\General\13FloorElevators%20-%20Easter%20Everywhere.jpg

| images/RC/General/13FloorElevators - Easter Everywhere.jpg (works OK)
|
| \\computername\share$\General\13FloorElevators - Easter Everywhere.jpg
| (does not work)
|
| \\computername\share$\General\13Floo~1.jpg (works OK)
|

| Many thanks
