Thank you clemhoff. Indeed /Volumes in front of the path does the trick.

... I tried the same thing on a server with path /sofia/..... Again, with the full path the code fails. However when I strip the /sofia (the computer name) from the path it is successful. I tested the same thing with the Base Elements plug-in and had the same results We are using OSX El Capitan. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? Is this a known issue with Path names in this OS? Thanks

John and rwoods, Thank you for your responses, but this had been tried with the same result. My path is /Macintosh HD/var/folders/90/_04p5y4n2fvc5gpr5_9bl5600000gp/T/S10.1/test1.xlsx when I manually try just: /var/folders/90/_04p5y4n2fvc5gpr5_9bl5600000gp/T/S10.1/test1.xlsx it works. So the "/Macintosh HD" is not liked. Is there a problem with spaces in the path? advice appreciated. Thanks

I am trying to use ScriptMaster GetFileAsContainer to populate a container field with a file in the temporary path. My script is basically: set variable ($pathToFile = "file:" & get(temporarypath) & "test.xlsx") export records ($pathToFile) set field (myContainer = GetFileAsContainer( $pathToFile )) The file is created, I can see it, the container field exists and is in the current context, The ScriptMaster module is registered, but I am getting an ERROR in the container. Any help? Thanks
