File Error - Help [Resolved]

[demotivater]

I have the following code -

'format time
    Today = Format(Now, "mm/dd/yyyy")
 
    'format output file name
    outFile = "graybar-po-" & Today & ".dat"
    badPO = "graybar-BADpo-" & Today & ".txt"
    
    'open newly created graybar csv file and take it from there
    Open "c:\winnt\profiles\desktop\graybarTemp.csv" For Input As #1
    Open "c:\winnt\profiles\desktop\" & outFile For Output As #4   '<----------This is the error line 
    Open "c:\winnt\profiles\desktop\" & badPO For Output As #5

I get the "Path Not Found" error on both the Open for Output lines. I have virtually the same code in many app's. What am I missing?!?!?!? I don't see my error.

Thanks in advance -

Filenames can't have /'s in them...

ARGH!!!

Yea, I have the same code in many apps except I don't format the time with "/" in those!!!

*kicks self*

Thanks for the extra eyes!

He seems right about that, it works if you change the file name to somethng simpler, but you left out the username in the path between 'profiles' and 'desktop', or at least on my nt box that's the path

He was right. It was because I formatted the time as ##/##/###. Can't have the /'s. Switched it to -'s and it works fine. Dumb mistake, but aren't they all??

Thanks guys
