Dos FileNames

[Art Moore]

Jeroen,

Thank you for your response.  Your suggestion of using two slashes instead of one worked to the extent that the error message is properly syntaxed.  It still tells me that the file does not exist and that just is not correct.  I have tried other directories and so far the only one that works is a single directory that has only 8 characters.

Hoping to get some other responses...

Art

  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
