specified path is invalid message

Hi,

We're working on testing 6.0R2 and I'm running into an issue with calling a file for import. Basically the programming used to call a dataport and I had to recreate it as an XMLPort so I am doing the following:

TestFile.OPEN('C:\Test\Test.xml');
TestFile.CREATEINSTREAM(TestStream);
XMLPORT.IMPORT(50001,TestStream);
TestFile.CLOSE;

When I click on the button that runs this code I receive the message "The specified path is invalid". I verified that the C:\Test directory exists and that the Test.xml file is there. From looking at permissions on that directory nothing stands out to tell me that is the issue, so I'm wondering if anyone else has any idea what could cause this?

Thanks,
Joe

In the RTC, the path 'C:\Test' refers to the C:-drive of the server where the service tier is running, not the PC where the client is started.
You'll have to use the UPLOAD-function to upload your local file to the server first.
