Launching the program Concept XL 2.6 + SR1, the system responds with the error message:

OS errno: -35
database path or file name too long
OS errno = 5
DLL RDM330

Error Id: AI-11343

OS Windows 2K

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance.

If you installed the latest updates for Win2000/XP and Concept no longer works you can fix it by removing " kb841533" and "kb840987" using add/remove programs.
 
This is caused by the automatic Windows Hotfix update.

Please go to eclipse.modicon.com and read the tech note posted there regarding this issue.
 
We are experiencing the exact same problem. We had Windows security patches applied last night (Concept was working fine yesterday). Here's what got applied:
IE 6 SP1 Cumulative security update (KB834707)
KB886179
KB841356
KB840987
KB841533

Hope this helps someone figure it out.
 
try to relocate your folder database to C:\, don't place on too many sub folder, may be it can help you.

You should be able to fix this bug by changing the path for the user environment variables from "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp" to "C:\temp"
 
There are three workarounds to this issue. The second one is probably the best permanent fix.

Workaround possibilities:

1. Uninstall Security Patches KB840987/KB841533 using Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs.

2. Change the TEMP - Variables in Control Panel / System / Advanced / Environment Variables.
Use a shorter name C:\TEMP or C:\WINNT\TEMP.
Replace both TEMP and TMP variables: Administrator (User) and System variables.

3. Make a Batch-File for calling Concept similar to this:
SET TEMP=C:\
CD \concept
START /separate C:\CONCEPT\CONCEPT.EXE

(You have to use your Concept Directory for the CONCEPT.EXE.)

You can also choose any other TEMP - Directory, but it has to exist and should not be too large.
For example: C:\CONCTEMP or C:\WINDOWS\TEMP)
