Hi all,

Im trying to open files depending on the contents of an ini file selected by the user. I store the input in an array and call the function "oFSO.OpenTextFile()". When I pass to it the line contents of the ini file it errors with cannot find file but when i enter the location manually within the code it works fine! A sample of what im trying to achieve is below:

Ive echoed both the paths above and they are identical. Ive run CStr() on aIniPath(0) and still no difference.

If anyone could shed any light on this it would be very much appreciated!

Cheers
Ross

Try putting quotes around sIniPath, ex
Set oFile = oFSO.OpenTextFile("""" & sIniPath & """", FORREADING), if this doesn't work, post your code for getting the inipath so it can be tested. I was able to do a quick test with what you posted and it worked for me, but I am not reading from and ini file so that is probably the difference.
