Can anybody tell me what cause for the invalid file or path ? That means what is 'Invalid' here? I think if the file is not available it gives different error message. Please help Thursday, May 10, 2012 4:24 PM Reply | Quote Answers 1 Sign in to vote Hi, usually you get this error when you store your path/filename in a variable and there is a blank in the string. VFP reads the string up to the blank and tries to access the file or change to this directory and as neither exists, you get an error. To avoid this problem you should make use of name expressions: * // instead of lcTargetPath = [D:\My Files\My Pictures\] CHDIR &lcTargetPath * // or even worse lcTargetPath = [D:\My Files\My Pictures\] CHDIR "&lcTargetPath" * // you should do it like this lcTargetPath = [D:\My Files\My Pictures\] CHDIR ( lcTargetPath ) * // and this can be done here, too SET ... TO ( lcFileName ) USE ( lcTableName ) ALIAS ( lcAlias ) CREATE TABLE/CURSOR ( lcCursorName ) SELECT * FROM ( lcSourceTable ) INTO CURSOR/TABLE ( lcTargetCursor ) SET PRINTER TO ( lcPrinterName ) DIRECTORY( lcCheckIfPathExists ) OPEN DATABASE ( lcDBCName ) Gruss / Best regards -Tom 010101100100011001010000011110000101001001101111011000110110101101110011 Proposed as answer by Pavel CelbaModerator Thursday, May 10, 2012 8:32 PM Edited by Tom BorgmannEditor Friday, May 11, 2012 6:0

VFP6 (SP5) stand alone application. Debugging shows that the error is produced before any of my code is executed. I suspect http://computer-programming-forum.com/2-vfp/5dc61abb6ce017d8.htm it's because VFP cannot find or access its directory for temporary files, but I don't know how that could happen. Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

I think this problem is caused by invalid path or an invalid PATH environment variable. Make sure the PATH line is correct and that all folders in the PATH setting exist. In Win9x, you can find the PATH in the autoexec.bat file. In WinNT, 2K and XP, the PATH setting is on the My Computer properties dialog. -- Eric den Doop www.foxite.com - The Home Of The Visual FoxPro Experts - Powered By VFP8 Sun, 20 Nov 2005 19:43:50 GMT Lee Mitche#3 / 5 invalid path or file name Hi Rasmus: This error is normally caused by an incorrect path stored in the Windows path environment variable. See this article for more information: 163801 PRB: "Error Locating Config File-Bad Path?" in Visual FoxPro http://support.microsoft.com/?id=163801 If this is not the case and you built the application using the Application Wizard, take a look at this article: 168058 PRB: Application Wizard EXE or APP Gives Path or File Error http://support.microsoft.com/?id=168058 I hope this helps.
