MAC Excel 2011 VBA File Name Limit of DIR function

[DWhit217]

I'm running into an issue where I can't use VBA to open a file to inject new data unless the filename is shorter than I believe 28 characters.

Is there a workaround for this?

Below is my code for reference.

Sub FactorChange_Price()
    Dim MyPath As String, FilesInPath As String
    Dim MyFiles() As String, Fnum As Long
    Dim Filename As String
    Dim mybook As Workbook
    Dim CalcMode As Long
    Dim sh As Worksheet
    Dim ErrorYes As Boolean


    'Fill in the path\folder where the files are
    MyPath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.<wbr>Path & ":Update:"


    'If there are no Excel files in the folder exit the sub
    FilesInPath = Dir(MyPath)
    If FilesInPath = "" Then
        MsgBox "No files found"
        Exit Sub
    End If


    'Fill the array(myFiles)with the list of Excel files in the folder
    Fnum = 0
    Do While FilesInPath <> ""
        Fnum = Fnum + 1
        ReDim Preserve MyFiles(1 To Fnum)
        MyFiles(Fnum) = FilesInPath
        FilesInPath = Dir()
    Loop


    With Application
        CalcMode = .Calculation
        .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .EnableEvents = False
    End With


    'Loop through all files in the array(myFiles)
    If Fnum > 0 Then
        For Fnum = LBound(MyFiles) To UBound(MyFiles)
            Set mybook = Nothing
            On Error Resume Next
            Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(MyPath & MyFiles(Fnum))


            If Not mybook Is Nothing Then




                'Change cell value(s) in one worksheet in mybook
                With mybook.Worksheets("Project")

.Range("A1").Value = "Success"​                        .Range("O63:O73").Value = .Range("O63:O73").Value + Workbooks("Master_Key").<wbr>Worksheets("Master_Key").<wbr>Range("D4:D14").Value
                        .Range("G25") = Format(Now(), "mm-dd-yy")
                        .Range("H25") = Format(Workbooks("Master_Key.<wbr>xlsm").Worksheets("Master_Key"<wbr>).Range("C27").Value, "mm-dd-yy")
                        .Range("I25") = Format(Workbooks("Master_Key.<wbr>xlsm").Worksheets("Master_Key"<wbr>).Range("D27").Value, "mm-dd-yy")

               End With

                        Application.Calculate
                        Filename = Range("C11")
                        ActiveWorkbook.<wbr>ChangeFileAccess Mode:=xlReadWrite
                        Application.ActiveWorkbook.<wbr>SaveAs Application.ActiveWorkbook.<wbr>Path & ":" & Filename, FileFormat:=53
                        mybook.Close savechanges:=False

            End If





        Next Fnum
    End If


    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = True
        .EnableEvents = True
        .Calculation = CalcMode
    End With


End Sub
