Hi from Beautiful Brittany, There seems to be some confusion about how to define a full file name on your computer.
On the Mac, you don't specify the main disk drive, it is implicit, so you start with the second level (beginning with a "/") On a PC you must start with the first level, i.e. the disk drive (don't ask me why !). so : put "/RevFolder/PDF Files/" into LVFilePath defines a file path. put "File1.pdf" into LVFileName defines a file name. put LVFilePath & LVFileName into LVFullName defines the full name ....... on a Mac, and put "C:" & LVFilePath & LVFileName into LVFullName defines the full name ........ on a PC (if, of course, your disk drive is "C:") And, as specified by Mark, and others : open file LVFullName read file LVFullName into LVworkArea [until ...] close file LVFullName Best Regards -Francis "Nothing should ever be done for the first time !" _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
