Select File () path needs volumeName?

[ron G]

I have just DL'd v 4.

I got it working and have the file and path (OSX) assigned to a variable: $$SelectImportFile .

I try and use $$SelectImportFile as the File Source variable specified in the Specify data source dialog.

FM DOES NOT IMPORT / FIND the file? I thought perhaps I need to specify the volumeName in addition to the path and file name?

If so, how can I get the volumeName to append to the path? (concatination is the method I presume).

Thanks

What is the path in $$SelectImportFile?

You may need to preceed the path with filemac:/

Got the Mac version to work. Just needed to assign a variable to get(SystemDrive) and then concatenate the $$Volume and $$SelectImportFile values.

But, when run in Windows, the code fails to produces a recognizable path.

$$Volume produces: /C:/

$$SelectImportFile produces: \\PFS\Home\Documents\... etc

Together they produce: /C:/\\PFS\Home\Documents\...

The script is below:
