"File Path":=cmndlg.OpenFile('Open File','',1,'',0);

where cmndlg is codeunit 412

your source is ok to select the file but whats now your problem :?:

do you will read the data from the file and store the data into a table or what?

Code works fine if used with a textbox. What kind of object do you use? It can´t be a command button ... :-k

garak

ist not a button, it's a textbox McClane ;-)

example:
i choose some text file in file path

behind your trigger

OnAssistEdit()
CLEAR ( cmndlg ) ;
"File Path":=cmndlg.OpenFile('Open File','',1,'',0);
hyperlink("File Path");

But i would use WSH (Windows Scripting Host)

Tip: Read the C/AL manuals on CD / DVD

Hello to all,

I have four types of informations regarding the imported file.

Field Name Datatype

File Name Text
File Size decimal
File Data Blob
Content Type Text

Now I want to open the imported file without exporting it to HDD by clicking 'Open File'
command button.
How to export that I know. but I want to open it directly.
Please help me.
