runtime import fails

I am importing data supplied in an xls file which works just fine in the developer version. However, using a scripted import in the runtime results in a file dialog, after selecting the file in question the following results:

"filename.xls" could not be opened (Error)

Any ideas gratefully recieved.

If I fix the filename rather than allowing it to be selected from the file dialog I get the error message:

"The translator for this file format could not be found or could not be initialized."

It seems that you have to copy all the Developer Tool/Runtime Files/System/*.* files into a folder called System at the level of the runtime application in order to have the excel translator be found and loaded correctly...

Bingo! Specifically, in your case, excel.imp. Thanks for posting the solution when you found it!
