Loading a .txt file into a blob

lightning

I want to load a .txt file into NAV, so i can store it later in a BLOB field in a table. tried this:

FileManagement.BLOBImportFromServerFile(TempBlob, FileName);

Where FileManagement is Codeunit 419
TempBlob is Record from TempBlob table
And FileName is acquired by choosing it from a dialog window earlier, so looks like: C:/Users/username/Desktop/myFile.txt

I get an Error "File does not exist" when clearly it does at that path, so maybe I'm doing something wrong
NAV 2017

Hi,

The file needs to be visible form the server side. You need to upload it to the server first, using

ServerFileName := FileManagement.UploadFileSilent(FileName);

before calling BLOBImportFromServerFile(TempBlob, ServerFileName)
