Confounding File I/O problem

[Beldrueger]

    MsgBox (FileLen(strread))
    Open strread For Input As #intFILE
    
'       Read text file line by line and insert into table.
    Do Until EOF(intFILE)
        Input #intFILE, strord_doc_nbr

This simple bit of code is bugging the <expletive> out of me.

FileLen confirms that strread is the correct path to the file, but when I get to the Input #intFile .... it doesn't read the file.

This same bit of code worked when I was pointing to a local file, bu now it doesn't work ... the only difference is that I'm pointing to a network file ... doesn't make sense ....

Any ideas???

Need a solution

How does FileLen "confirms that strread is the correct path to the file"? It only returns the file length.

[Beldrueger]

If it was not the correct filepath then it would not return anything

[MartinLiss]

Have you ever done

MsgBox strread

?

[Beldrueger]

Yes and I can verify the path on the code mouse-over .. the path is correct

Well, I'm not sure I follow completely, but if your path is right, perhaps you aren't allowed access to that file on that network for some reason?
