<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ok, now if that does not work, I am thinking that
the name MOBOSaveActivity is longer than the DOS file/directory name 8(.3)
format and fPImport cannot handle long file names.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You probably have to specify the DOS short name for
that directory, like MOBOSa~1 (you can find it using </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the DOS prompt and give the command
DIR).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jeroen,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hoping to get some other
responses...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Art,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Try adding more backslashes in the filename, I
see that every character following the "\" </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>disappears, because it is treated as a special
character.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So if you change the file name to the
following, I expect it to work:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>c:\\MOBOLead\\MOBOSaveActivity\\Inbox\\activity.csv</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My only question is that I get an error when
I try to run the program using the following existing
path:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>c:\MOBOLead\MOBOSaveActivity\Inbox\activity.csv</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I get the following error EXACTLY as I have
written it below:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>c:MoboleadMobosaveactivity<STRONG>nbox</STRONG>tivity.csv
does not exist</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Make sure the drive letter and path are
correct</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The portion nbox is hi-lited.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas. Thank you.</FONT></DIV>
