File Name limitations

Hi,

 

Does anyone know why file that have over a certain number of characters in the name (76 seems to be the magic number of characters) do not get successfully attached in our salesforce application?

 

Is there a know limitation to how long a file name can be?  Any other suggestions?

It's 80 characters, as are all Name fields in Salesforce.com.  Your magic number of 76 is probably 76 characters of filename plus a dot plus 3 characters of extension for a total of 80.

Thank you for your reply.
 
Is there a way to increase this limit?

No, all name fields are a fixed 80 characters.
