I doesn't matter where your perl script is. It only matters where your cd is set to. Just before you try the open, what's the output of: print `cd`; You might also do the following: print "d:\\test.xls exists\n" if -f "../test.xls"; Note I'm testing for ../test.xls not ..//test.xls. **** [EMAIL PROTECTED] <Carl Jolley> **** All opinions are my own and not necessarily those of my employer **** _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
