    My GetDownloadsPath function is:

    Sure - It would help in future if you reproduced the full error message. The source of the problem likely lies in the length of the file that you're trying to insert. According to your code, you're expecting it to stretch across 26 slides and the error message is telling you that it can't.

    It's self-evident that the file you're attempting insert will not span 26 slides, because content of the file is stored in a variable called FileContent which, coincidentallly (?), is also it's own filename (?!?!). So there is a logical error there as well. Any variable containing a string that is suitable as a filename will be far too short to span 26 slides. Equally, any variable containing string that is sufficiently long enough to span 26 slides will far exceed the permissible filename length.
