Dos FileNames

[Jeroen Elias]

Art,

Try adding more backslashes in the filename, I see that every character following the "\" 
disappears, because it is treated as a special character.
So if you change the file name to the following, I expect it to work:
c:\\MOBOLead\\MOBOSaveActivity\\Inbox\\activity.csv


Regards,
  Jeroen

  Thanks to Walter Vaughn who suggested I 'Google' filePro I have found a program that works very well for me called 'fpimport'.  It was a creation of Howard Wolowitz I believe.  Thank you Walter and Howard.

  My only question is that I get an error when I try to run the program using the following existing path:

  c:\MOBOLead\MOBOSaveActivity\Inbox\activity.csv

  I get the following error EXACTLY as I have written it below:

  c:MoboleadMobosaveactivitynboxtivity.csv  does not exist
  Make sure the drive letter and path are correct

  The portion nbox is hi-lited.

  The path exists and the file exists just as I listed at the outset.  I have increased the field size of the pathname within the fpimport program to 50 characters which should be long enough.

  Any ideas.  Thank you.

  Art Moore
