I don't know for sure, but maybe MySQL can't handle the DOS directory delimeter \ when it's unescaped? So, try "C:\\text.txt" instead of "c:\text.txt". Hmm, or maybe MySQL needs Unix style delimiters? Try "c:/text.txt". --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
