Woooow. Thank you so much Mark !! You're right !
I've renamed the file with a shorter name to be sure and now it can be opened on both computers !
That's incredible. I still don't understand why the long name can be opened on computer 1 but not on computer 2, as both systems are Windows 64 bits, but anyway, you were right and that's gorgeous !
Thank you superhero. 😊😘
