When saving an attachment file in Microsoft Outlook, you may get the following error message:
Can't create file: <Long File Named File -- ONLY LFN> Right-click
the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties
on the Shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder.
The attachment file has a long file name and the volume, or hard disk on which you have your Temp folder does not support long file names.
Move your Temp folder to a volume that supports long file names.
During the save process, Outlook creates a temporary file of the attachment in your Temp folder. This file will have a name at least as long as the attachment name so the Temp folder must support long file names.
