Thank you again for your fast response. Using the scribt on filename "Ka,17-11-27,Brief lang an Lackner Josef.docx" saves the .txt file and generates en error message on opening the editor: file not found. Using the the scribt on filename "Ka,17-11-27,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.docx" saves the .txt file and opens it in the editor for further editing. This is what I don't understand. It doesn't relate to the lenght of the file name as well. As soon as there are spaces the error occours. This is why I was thinking about restrictions of the filname itself on running the scribt. The scribt itself works great, and I thank you again. Maybe ther is a trick to it.
