Problems with getting fileinfo

I have been using a macro written by John Walkenback (Code is below) to get file info for a spreadsheet of MP3's titles and artist. I came across a problem with some files that have over 200 characters as it's filename. The error I'm getting is "Run-time error '53': File not found." in the Public sub RecursiveDir(ByVal currdir As String). The line that it is happening on is:
IF (GetAttr(PathAndName) And vbDirectory) = vbDirectory Then

Is there a work around for this other than moving the files that are causing the error or maybe is there an update or better way to get the info.

Any help would be appreciated.
